The add-on used to be hugely popular but now it means that your home could be worth less when it comes to selling
If you're thinking your house could do with a little more space and you're tempted to add in a conservatory, think again - as it could knock several thousand pounds off your home's value.
The website Rightmove has shown that there are were 52 per cent fewer houses coming onto the market with conservatories in 2022, compared to ten years previously. Other figures show there were around a million built in 2006, compared to 77,000 constructed in 2017, the Mirror reports. He said: "An outdated conservatory can be an eyesore which will cause an immediate bad first impression, particularly with younger buyers," he told thisismoney.co.uk. If it's not in keeping with the overall style of your home, it acts as a buying deterrent.
Many potential homeowners are searching for a place that's energy-efficient, meaning conservatories are becoming more off-putting. James Powell, of Hunters estate agents in York reportedly said: "We're seeing people turn their conservatory into another room or taking the traditional glass or plastic roof off and replacing it with a proper roof. They are just quite unusable otherwise.
