Checklist
Kiwi buyers buy a lifestyle as much as a house, and outdoor space is a big part of it. You don't need a landscaper — you need the garden and outdoor areas to read tidy, usable and inviting.
The goal is for a buyer to step outside and imagine living there — coffee on the deck, kids on the lawn. Tidy, usable and inviting beats expensive landscaping every time before a sale.
