Whether you desire a quiet house in the country or hectic city living, there can be no doubt that owning a little patch of garden is a very attractive feature for any aspiring homeowner. New research by Halifax Estate Agents reveals that two out of five people found it difficult to find properties for sale or to rent with a suitable garden or outside space. For many, it seems that a garden is more important then an extra room in the house. A hefty 61% of us would choose to live without a utility room and over half of respondents would also forgo a second bathroom.

Another Halifax survey shows 45% of house owners in the Southeast enjoy over 6 hours of garden relaxation time per week.
