The home features that could ‘add thousands’ to a property’s value
New research shows that the value of landlords who want to sell their property this summer can be seen significantly increased by the desired features.
The property portal shows that a work done by Zoopla, a well -placed garden or a refreshing swimming pool can add thousands of at the price of a house in warmer months.
Findings based on insights from more than 100 UK real estate agents were compared with requesting the price requested price for properties with certain opportunities between May and August against other times of the year.
Experts based their valuation on a typical three -bedroom property, which currently has an average price of an average UK and requesting a price of $ 324,000.
Among the most lucrative features, a south -looking or sunny garden added an average of £ 5,832 to the price of a three -bedroom house.
If a balcony is sold in the summer season, it can also command in addition to £ 4,018. For more luxurious outdoor facilities, a swimming pool is estimated to increase the value of £ 5.897, while a hot tub can often add £ 2,819.
On the contrary, the research also stressed an opportunity for buyers, and suggesting that buying a house with these special features could lead to a potential bargaining.
If the intermediaries are sold, the air conditioner can add about 4,925 £.
Zoopla’s research shows that many features add value in winter.
If the agents estimate that a traditional, wood -burning fireplace adds £ 4,568 if a property is sold, a range of stoves can add an average of £ 3,337.
The heating under the ground commands an average of £ 3.985 and can add £ 3.402 to energy efficiency measures such as double glass.
How much a feature can add to the value of a property will depend on individual conditions such as how popular the local area is popular with buyers and the desire of other features in the home.
Zoopla’s consumer Consumer Daniel Copley said: “The research clearly shows that home buyers are swinging by the season, and in some cases some features can help sellers achieve more for their homes.”
“Although it is human nature to draw features such as a striking garden or a cool pool in the summer months, house buyers should not forget that they will encounter ongoing working costs for these products, especially in relation to energy use. Therefore, they add this to their budgets.
“All the houses differ, so sellers should receive a customary advice from a real estate agent who can inform whether their homes will be desirable and whether they can command at a higher price in the summer.”
John D Wood & Co, Country House Professor Claire Carter said: “The Country House market always had a natural rhythm with seasons – not only in terms of features, but also the place.
“Especially when the coastal houses, when the sun shines and the same thing appears in the best way for swimming pools and tennis courts. The characteristics of those who add value are not necessarily like this, but they become more emotionally compelling – a glorious fire or a magnificent garden in the summer can definitely overthrow a buyer’s decision.
“The time of the year is very important for the presentation, for example, a house photographed in January looks completely different until May. When selling in winter, I always encourage my customers to illuminate the fire and open the floor heating because no one does not want to feel cold on a monitoring. In the summer, everything is about the Blooming Gardens, Blue Scents and Sun Dappled terraces.
“I also see the demand for natural swimming pools or lakes that tend to maintain its charm throughout the year. Buyers are increasingly aware of their health benefits-better for the environment, not contain chemicals and sleep more naturally with landscape.
“Unlike a traditional pool that makes you feel seasonal, a well -designed swimming lake can feel like a part of rural areas, it can be used even in winter, and even in winter. After all, selling a country house is about selling the imagination of buyers and helping them to imagine their lives there.”
Real estate agents research was conducted in June by mortar research.
In June, a survey of 1,000 host by the mortar survey also estimated that approximately half (47%) paid more payment for a property due to the year they bought their homes and that an average of £ 27,000 is an an average of extra spending.
However, many of them hope to benefit from the awards in the future, and 71% believe that their homes will be more desirable if they list the right time of the year.
