But what many homeowners do not know is that a installing a conservatory is a fantastic selling point which can put your house ahead of others in the area should you decide to sell in the future, and if you make the decision to move on you could expect to receive a significantly higher price for the property, a conservatory extension can increase the value and saleability to your property.

‘Conservatories are great for adding value to a home and making the property more appealing to homebuyers, be careful not to overspend and price yourself out of the market. If you live in a semi worth about £120,000 spending between £5,000 and £10,000 may see you recoup and make profit with the investment whereas you are unlikely to recoup the cost of a £30,000 Edwardian style conservatory. The best advice is to get to know the local property market a little and speak to a local estate agent before making any final decisions.
If you are hoping to recoup the initial investment from the conservatory extension in the future and maybe a little more then you need to be smart, your conservatory should complement your current property, it should add a reasonable and to scale extra space to the property and should be installed and decorated to a high quality but without overspending.
