Evening all.
I`m wondering what people`s opinions are of the importance of access
to a back garden, and what effect that has on property prices.
For instance, two terraced properties, identical in every way, but one
has access to the back garden only through the house (Patio doors in
living room). The other has a gate at the end of the garden, leading
to the street, via an alleyway.
How would people rate the importance of independent access, and how
would that be reflected in the price you`re willing to pay?


It could cut both ways: if the alleyway is where all the local druggies
hang out and nip through the gate or over the wall for their nefarious
purposes, it could knock thousands off; if you're planning major garden
works, or a shed/workshop in the garden, it could add to the attraction
of the house. I bet many wives would get fed up with hubby wheeling his
bike through the lounge.
