12% OF HOUSEHOLDS HAVE NO ACCESS TO A PRIVATE OR SHARED GARDEN

One in eight households (12%) in Great Britain have no access to a private or shared garden during the coronavirus lockdown.

Private outdoor space was the strongest design-based predictor of comfort during lockdown and the most valued quality of a home during the pandemic.

It is no surprise that buyers and renters have been in search of private outside space, with ‘Garden’ the most popular search term in 2020.

With spring just round the corner, homeowners will soon be making the most of their sought-after outside space. Source: Dataloft, ONS, Place Alliance, Zoopla
