When we buy a property, it’s not just a place to live but also an investment and so it’s important to see its value rise over the years we own it. In Cardiff, conservatories have proven to be a successful way to increase the value of South Wales homes. While conservatories have been popular for a very long time, they have sometimes been viewed as unattractive or impractical, but these days they look more like glazed extensions. There’s also a wider variety of design options available compared to previously. Here, we look at how a conservatory can be the perfect way to increase the value of your Cardiff home.
Adding to your floor space: why more square metres means more pounds
When you add a conservatory to your property, the first thing you do is increase the available floor space. You are essentially adding an extra room to your home, and this can be an important factor in driving the price upwards. It’s estimated that a conservatory can add between 5 and 12% to the value of a property, depending on where you are in the country, so it’s certainly a worthwhile investment.
Putting a value on the connection with nature
Conservatories might seem like a modern fad, but they have been a popular addition to many homes since the Victorian era. The glass surroundings allow families to enjoy a connection with the outdoors while being protected by the indoors. Conservatories have proven to be an effective way to let light into a property and allow people to enjoy their garden spaces even with typical Welsh weather! While it might be difficult to put a finite value on this, a conservatory is something that makes a property a lot more saleable to many buyers on the market.
Improving your conservatory design
Not all conservatories are made equal and many now look quite dated. It’s for this reason that most modern conservatories come with a range of design options. For Cardiff conservatories, Falcon Installations has the perfect solution. From traditional conservatories, orangeries and even solid roof conservatories, there’s something available to seamlessly blend in with any property style. They can combine classic styles with modern technology, thermally efficient glazing and even self-cleaning glass to ensure there are durable, stylish and practical choices on offer.
Solid roof conservatories
One of the biggest complaints many homeowners have had over the years is that a conservatory can be too hot to use in the summer and too cold during the winter. This means there’s often an unusable room in your house, which can put buyers off, which is why there’s now a trend towards solid roof conservatories. These solid roofs provide a much more practical use for your space and can increase the value as a result.
A solid roof can be used as a replacement to put onto an existing conservatory or as part of a whole new build. It ensures your conservatory space can be used all year round, no matter what the South Wales weather throws at us. Falcon Installations solid roofs offer vaulted ceilings and external tiles which can match the existing character of your home, giving you a more peaceful, energy efficient and versatile conservatory to make use of.
