Most homeowners are keen to find ways of increasing the value of their property. They often concentrate on the actual house though, while neglecting the garden. This blog will explore the potential of a garden room for boosting value.
Can it add value?
Adding an enclosed building to your back garden can increase the property value. Data shows that it typically puts another 8.4% onto its market price. This depends on certain factors though.
The quality
A garden room that is attractive and built from solid timber will add value, but a badly constructed building that clashes with its surroundings will have the opposite effect. It will help too if the room is complemented by other high-quality items, such as Supremo Barcelona garden furniture.
The use
What the garden room is designed to be used for will help to determine how much value it adds. A home office, a fitness room and a creative studio are all examples that can increase your home’s value. On the other hand, if the garden room is simply a storage space – basically a large shed – it is not likely to add much to the value.
The proportions
The proportions of the building compared to the garden as a whole are another factor. If it is too big for the garden, this could put people off – especially if they want to use the garden for other activities. Make sure its size is proportionate.
A garden room can make your home more valuable, if you get it right.
