- Nearly half of would-be sellers have considered hiring a luxury car.
- 72 per cent of property owners say an expensive car could boost appeal.
- Buyers often judge a home within seconds of arriving.

## Summary

A survey of 2,000 people found that nearly half of homeowners hoping to sell have considered hiring a luxury car to make their property more appealing. The findings highlight how sellers may use lifestyle cues and kerb appeal to influence buyers, amid a flat UK housing market and falling prices in London and the south-east.

Among property owners, 72 per cent said an expensive car on a driveway would make a home seem more desirable; Mercedes-Benz was considered by 47 per cent, BMW by 43 per cent and Audi by 35 per cent. Buyers also cited fresh flowers (44 per cent), walk-in wardrobes (34 per cent), coffee and freshly baked bread. Most said they form an impression within seconds, with 55 per cent saying a property's exterior strongly affects their decision.
