How Much Value Does a Conservatory Add to Your House?

Do modern conservatories add value to your home?

How much value does a conservatory add to your house? Every creative mind can easily daydream a masterpiece, a home extension which will outrank every Pinterest board out there! The sunroom extension designs are endless. But are conservatories worth it? When it is time to sell, will you gain more money if you add a conservatory? It all boils down to return on investment (ROI).

 

Do sunrooms add value to your home? If done well, definitely. The estimated value added to your home could range from 5 to 15 per cent depending on your initial investment. A conservatory priced at £10,000 could see a five per cent return.

 

There are many ways to boost your home’s value, so are conservatories worth it? A sunroom might help sell your home quickly. Arguably, conservatories help sell properties due to their popularity. Research shows that homes with conservatories are increasingly popular, rising from 1.7 million (1991) to 4 million (2011).

Conservatory sizes: what size adds the most value?

Choosing the correct size for a conservatory extension is vital for added property value. Your conservatory should appear as if it was part of the original house, not a quick add on. Often the conservatory which adds the most value to your home will be one that is proportionate in size.

 

As British buyers highly value gardens, be careful you don’t reduce your home’s value by oversizing your conservatory. Small sunrooms can still add value. Large conservatories will add to the size of your home, but neither is considered a full room during valuations.

 

Obviously, you will also need to determine how much cash you can spend on a conservatory. It is better to create a small sunroom instead of a significant build on a strained budget.

What is the average cost of a conservatory?

Many individuals selling their home ask, “how much is a small conservatory?” The idea is to add a cheap conservatory and quickly add value to their property. Size isn’t the only consideration for your wallet.

 

The costs of conservatory extensions depend on the type of sunroom you choose. For example, lean-to conservatory could be only £5,750, whereas orangery extensions range between £14,000 to £50,000.

 

What type of sunroom increases your property’s value, a conservatory or an orangery? The benefits of building a conservatory are the price and time-frame. However, the orangery can add more overall value to your property.

Are conservatories a good idea for increased property value?

With all said and done, are conservatories a good idea to help sell your house? They are a great option if you want to add value to your home before selling as conservatories are a relatively fast option. However, it’s not worth building a low-end conservatory, as this could actually decrease the property’s value.

 

To be sure whether conservatories are a good idea for you, consider the following:

  1. Budget
  2. Neighbourhood’s ceiling price
  3. Garden size
  4. Your timescale
  5. Planning permission

Fast Sale Homes pretty much saved my life. I was under tremendous pressure facing repossession. I could not sleep, my family was suffering, and the stress was starting to over come me. Fast Sale Homes bought my house in just over a week and I settled my debts. My family and I are now putting our lives back together and moving on. I am not sure I would have made it without Ed and the team.

My husband and I found our dream retirement home in Somerset, however we just couldn't find a buyer for our long term home in Barnsley. We approached Fast Sale Homes, and found ourselves ready to move and complete on both the purchase and the sale in under a month. The Fast Sale Homes team were super helpful and professional. I would recommend them to anyone.
