For some, a sunroom is a luxury that they can ill-afford. Others believe that it’s an unnecessary purchase but these individuals have no real idea what a sunroom can really do. Although a bespoke sunroom is an aesthetically pleasing addition to the home, you’re not spending all the money on mere appearances. The most obvious benefit to having a sunroom is the additional space it provides. However, it’s also a multi-function room which offers a range of entertainment options for the whole family. A bespoke sunroom will add value to your home and it will enable you to get the most of the scant UK sun we treated to.
Clearly, if you’re planning on building a sunroom, space is the major issue. But why choose a sunroom above other extensions? Experts say that a sunroom is one of the easiest and hassle-free extensions you can add to your home. It’s not all that difficult to receive planning permission so long as you stay within the basic requirements outlined by your local council. A sunroom is also far less expensive than other options. In fact, you can even purchase your own DIY kit that allows you to build a sunroom of a considerable size for less. However, it’s recommended that you use professional contractors for best results.
Ask yourself: How much of the sun do I really take in? Most people are busy at work during daylight hours and are too busy socialising or recovering at home from a tiring week during their days off to really enjoy the sun. And it’s not like there is a huge amount of sun to soak up in the first place! With a sunroom, you can relax at home and get all the joys of being out in the sun at the same time. You can even connect the sunroom to your home heating system to enjoy your new extension in the winter. Best of all, a bespoke sunroom can be created in your image. Choose a design depending on what you intend using it for.
Then there is the small matter of increasing the value of your home. With a sunroom, you can enjoy numerous benefits in the knowledge that a substantial chunk of your investment will be recouped if you choose to sell. Research on the property market suggests that more than 50% of a sunroom’s cost will be added to the value of your home. In other words, if you spend £14,000 on the sunroom, it will add at least £7,000 and probably more than £10,000 to the value of your property.
With all the above advantages, there doesn’t seem to be much of a reason not to build a sunroom if you can afford it. Those who like being out in the sunshine but don’t have the time will love what a sunroom can do for them. If you have a growing family, a sunroom can give you the peace and quiet you crave. And if you intend on selling the house one day, a sunroom will add value to your home so expect to get the majority of your investment back.
