Predictably, swimming pools didn’t rank as the most sought after feature in the UK, although perhaps surprisingly, they were the third most sought after. Land ranked top amongst UK homebuyers as the most important feature, with an annex also adding great appeal. Other features to make the top 10 include summer houses, woodland, waterfalls, garages, gardens, stables and bars.

Pools, more space and natural spaces are largely the most important factors of a home regardless of where we live and the latter has certainly increased in prominence as a result of the pandemic.” |
