The Financial and Personal Benefits of a Loft Conversion
/There are many reasons why you may be considering a loft conversion, from having a guest bedroom to a new office space, or even a home gym. A loft conversion is also a great way of adding value to a property, making it one of the most popular home additions for those flipping properties. There are lots of benefits to a loft conversion, but they are mainly sold on their financial return.
One of the main benefits of having a loft conversion is to be able to have your own space in your home. For busy families, it can be nice to have a relaxation or cinema room which you can go to when you feel stressed or in need of some rest or recreation. Equally, many of us have had to work from home during the pandemic, and a home office is now a vital addition to any home. A loft conversion provides you with space away from the main busy rooms of your home, like the kitchen or living room, and allows you to focus on important pieces of work or relaxation.
For some, having a loft conversion is purely a way to make money when selling your property. A loft conversion can add up to 20% of the value of your home to the selling price! For most people, you will see a return of double what you pay for a loft conversion, making it a very worthwhile home investment. Your loft conversion will add different levels of value to your property depending on what rooms you have fitted in your loft conversion. Bedrooms add the most value to a property, then bathrooms and roof terraces.
The importance of both our mental and physical health is more prominent than ever, and there is no better way to support your health than having space at home dedicated to exercising. We have completed several loft conversion gyms, many having a Juliet balcony fitted to bring in lots of natural light and ventilation. You can choose from a variety of window options that suit your space, and if you wanted a shower room or wet room, one can easily be fitted in your loft too.
If you are expecting a new child or are welcoming home your child from University, the extra space you can have from a loft conversion can be unrivalled. A loft bedroom can be perfect to create a quirky haven for your child, or an independent living area for a member of your family. There are many adventurous ways you can decorate a loft conversion to suit your child, with in-built storage options and creative lighting options.
There are many reasons to invest in a loft conversion for your property, whether you need the space for personal reasons or want to increase the value of your home. One of the best ways to see how much value you can add to your property with a loft conversion is to speak to your local estate agent.
