1. Lighten up
'An instant garden update for an urban garden is lighting,' says Jon Holloway from the Garden Trading Company. 'In the early evening, clever lighting sets the scene and shows off the space. If it's well lit it helps the whole environment.' Check out the Set of 3 Fishing Lights now reduced from ยฃ80 to ยฃ25 from Garden Trading Company.
2. All together
'For the best impact, group bigger pots in varying sizes and odd numbers,' says Julie Humphreys, from garden specialist Crocus. 'Choose evergreen plants for all year interest or ones that have a long flowering season.' Try these Bell jar pots (ยฃ129.99) from Crocus.
3. Eat outdoors
'Keep your purse strings tied - only spend money on things you can take with you,' says Nigel Leck, of Property Presentation Services. Holloway adds, 'You can store good quality bistro furniture away out of sight for the winter. A combination of metal and wood is good. The problem with just metal in an urban environment is that the air can be quite acidic and furniture can look quite grim and stained quite quickly.' Solve the problem with folding wood furniture like this Lapalm round table - ยฃ39, reduced from ยฃ99 - from The Pier.
4. Twitcher's game
'Estate agents advise sellers to dress their homes for viewings,' says Siddeley, 'and in the same way people should dress their gardens.' Charm visitors with welcome wildlife. The Eva Solo bird nesting box (ยฃ35) from John Lewis comes with four different size entrances so you choose which of your favourite birds makes it their home.
5. Water world
'If outside space is restricted, work really hard to make the most of every inch' says Charlie Comber of estate agents Hayman-Joyce. Create a focal point in your garden with a water feature, like this Mosaic solar powered (ยฃ74) find from Amazon.
6. Quick fix
'Planting herbs is another great way to update a garden,' says Holloway. 'Use nice simple containers.' To increase chances of a speedy sale why not try this Large ceramic pot and base (ยฃ5) from the Garden Trading Company. Fill your garden with the scent of herbs.
7. Scrapheap challenge
'Excess junk, debris and garden rubbish is an absolute no when selling a property,' says Roly Peto from Property Vision. This handwoven garden tidy (ยฃ59.95) from Crocus is ideal for hiding unsightly objects such as wheelie bins but also gives a rustic country feel to even the most urban of gardens.
8. Rock garden
Think outside the box and add extras to your garden. Try these outdoor 15W wireless speakers (ยฃ119) from I Want One of Those, to bring your sounds outside discretely. With a range of up to 100 metres, they're the ultimate accessory for a 21st Century garden.
9. Reflections
'Clever use of mirrors and ornamental arrangements of flower beds enhance a garden,' says Robert Bailey of Robert Bailey Property. Even if your outside space is teeny weeny, there's a lot you can do. This Mirror - Illusion window (ยฃ109.95) from Crocus creates the impression of space by appearing to be an open window looking into another part of the garden.
10. Fruitful
'For plants that have an instant impact, any fruit trees are good,' advises Holloway. 'Fig trees are nice, because they look great up against a wall and the figs are edible too.' Fill your garden with edible goodies for an instantly inviting look with this 'fig carica' (ยฃ39) from Not on the High Street.
