Does a Conservatory Add Value

Posted by Bob Bulmer on Fri 20th June 2008 at 06:00 AM, Filed in DIY Adding Value Tips

Conservatories can be a great way to create extra space for low cost.

They often don’t need planning permission or Building Regulations approval (always worth double checking though) and can be very quick to knock up.

As a rule of thumb, the more floor space you can add with a conservatory, the more you can add value to your home. This is important - I know from personal experience that that my current house was bought on the basis that it had extra space in the form of a decent conservatory.

Typical prices for a uPVC frame conservatory with double glazed walls can cost up to £500-£800 per sq m.

I am aware of examples where a well constructed conservatory has added anything from £50,000 to £100,000. Even if you don’t get the value return, you still have what will be a very handy piece of extra space.
