Building A Conservatory Delivers The Best Return Of Investment Of All Home Improvements

Having a conservatory built in your house will deliver the best return of investment compared to any other home improvements you can invest in. According to an article published in the Daily Mail regarding a study conducted by Zopa, a conservatory will bring you the most profit, compared to many other home improvements such as improving the garden, or investing in its exterior, an extension or bathroom renovation.

Zopa argues that, when done properly, the average increase in value of a property when investing in home improvements is around 10%. The peer-to-peer lending company asked users who were taking out loans for home improvement purposes to consider how much profit they have made after the installment and how much work they have put into it.

The study says that on average people are adding an extra value of £30,000 to their property when investing in home improvements. A conservatory installation has proven to be the biggest return of investment from the study with a 108% return after purchase, whereas a bathroom renovation only offers 48% return of investment.

In addition, having a conservatory installed will be a much more sensible and cheaper investment than moving houses. It will provide an extra room that can solve any spacial issues with the constantly shrinking space in your house and will be ideal for a dining room or a kitchen installation. Additionally, it can be transformed into a perfect office space if you are more entrepreneurial and would like to start up your own business.

Unlike an extension, a conservatory does not require planning permission as long as no more than half the area of the land of the original house is covered. In addition, it is also freed from building regulations if at least ‘half of the new wall and three quarters of the roof is either glazed or a translucent material, and if the conservatory is separated from the house by external doors’.
