According to Rightmove, buyers this year were looking for certain features more than others when searching for a new home on the popular property portal.
A Garage
Topping the list, a garage was the most sought-after feature of 2025. Offering safety and security for your car—and the flexibility to become a home office, gym or even an additional bedroom—a garage not only provides useful storage but is also one of the most convenient spaces to convert.
Beyond its versatility, a garage can add value to your home, increasing its sale price while also making it more attractive to potential buyers.
An Annexe
Close behind, an annexe has become an increasingly desirable feature in 2025. Perfect for multi-generational living, home working space or guest accommodation, an annexe offers privacy and independence while remaining connected to the main home.
Beyond its flexibility, a well-designed annexe can significantly boost your property’s value, broadening its appeal to a wider range of buyers and lifestyles.
A Garden
A garden continues to be one of the most sought-after features for homeowners in 2025. Whether used for entertaining, relaxing or creating an outdoor workspace, a well-planned garden extends your living space.
In addition to improving quality of living, an attractive garden can greatly increase a property’s market appeal, helping it stand out and possibly achieve a higher sale price.
