Every homeowner wants to get the most amount of cash for their property when they sell it. But, in order to achieve a great price, you need to prove that your home is worth it. By adding an extra room to your property, you’re adding space to your home. And, in the housing market, space means more money. According to Meditnor, a garden building, such as an office, can add between 5 and 15% onto your home’s asking price. Therefore, by splurging on a specially designed office with heating and insulation built into, you’ll achieve maximum return.
53% of workers state that having a good work-life balance is very important. Yet, with almost 4 million U.S citizens working from home, it’s inevitable that there will be times work creeps into personal life. This is especially the case when there’s a home office directly opposite the bedroom or nestled into the corner of the kitchen. However, by installing an office in the garden, a clear boundary is set. Thus, allowing potential buyers to see that they can leave their work at the back door and enjoy quality family time by investing in your property.
The NAHB reports that 81% of Millennials looking to purchase a home want a three or four bedroom house. Therefore, these buyers would likely rule your home out of the running if it had fewer bedrooms than desired. But, by erecting an outhouse and creating a home office in your garden, the need to transform one of the bedrooms into an office is gone. As a result, your once written off home becomes a viable option.
Creating a home office in your garden is the perfect way to boost your property’s appeal to the nation’s remote workers. Not only that but by investing in an outhouse, you’ll add thousands onto the value of your property and will open up your home to a whole new market of buyers.
