Selling garden furniture in Portsmouth

Portsmouth is the most densely populated city in the country outside London and is built mostly on an island, with the naval base, the historic dockyard and a tower over the harbour defining it. Space here is genuinely tight, which shapes what people own.

The island layout means there are limited routes in and out and they congest badly, so agree a realistic time window. Terraced streets are narrow with permit parking throughout, so confirm access for anything large.

Confirm the floor and whether there is a lift, and check the street has anywhere to stop. This is the densest city in the country outside the capital and access defeats more sales here than price does.

Portsmouth, in England, has around 240,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. London, Birmingham and Leeds are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

• Photograph it assembled, in daylight
