Date Published 05 March 2021

* 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.
