Home office adds £25,000 to property value

01/01/2008 send to a friend

Having a home office or garden office can increase the value of your property by at least £25,000.

Homeworking values
Research was carried out by Enterprise Nation and Homefinder UK in 2007 and showed that it really does pay to work from home.

A comparison of house prices across the UK confirmed that increases in property values ranged from the smallest differential of £2,450 through to a whopping £80,000. This is an £80,000 difference in the amount being offered for two similar houses located in the same area; one with a home office and one without.

The same value-added applies to having a garden office with an estimated 3-5% increase in the value of your property, if you have an office at the end of the garden path.
