Will a garden room add value to your home?

Undoubtedly, a garden room is appealing thanks to the extra space it offers and its attractiveness. But can a garden room add value to your home?

Indeed it can! Estate agents agree that a garden room can add between 5% and 15% to the value of your home.

In their 2022 survey, The Property Centre found that, on average, a garden room added 8.4% to the value of a property.

So, how can a garden room add value to your home, and why is it a wise investment?

An Excellent Alternative to an Extension

Adding floor space to your home is a sure way to add value to your property.

When you need more space, it is tempting to consider building a home extension. The problem with a traditional extension is that it is costly and disruptive and can take a while to be completed.

A garden room offers a more cost-effective solution and is far less hassle to install, yet it will still deliver an attractive new space for a wide range of uses.

A garden room is versatile and quick to build. Although it may not add as much value as a conventional extension, it usually costs far less, making it a worthwhile investment.

Stand out from the Crowd

A well-built garden room provides a unique and pleasing addition to any home or garden.

Our bespoke buildings can be designed to create a stunning centrepiece that will inevitably attract viewings when your home is on the market. Homes with a garden room have become highly desirable and are likely to be snapped up quickly and achieve their asking price.

Home Office

With the popularity of home or hybrid working, a dedicated workspace has become an essential requirement for many housebuyers.

Building a garden room makes your home more competitive against new houses with a purpose-built study and maybe even more attractive to buyers who appreciate the privacy a remote garden office offers.

Gym, Hobby Room or Entertainment Space

The beauty of a garden room is it can fulfil a wide range of needs.

Health-conscious buyers may desire a home gym with space for gym equipment and less chance of disrupting the household during a workout.

Various hobbies require space for storage, and crafters or modellers will be looking for a space to work and store their materials away from their living area.

Outdoor living is very popular, but with UK weather, a garden room provides shelter from the weather and allows for all-year-round use. It will attract buyers who value outdoor dining, relaxation and fun.

Is a garden room a wise investment?

The value of extra space created by adding a garden room may be priceless to you, but how much will it add to your property?

Generally, you can expect a garden room to add 1.5 times its cost to your home.

That’s great news for homeowners who wish to make a financial return on their investment. Of course, choosing a builder who offers a high-quality product and construction is vital to maximise the added value.
