Could a Portland Stone Patio Add Value to Your Home?

Portland Stone Patios offer more than just a beautiful space to spend time with the family and while away some quiet time. In fact, an Portland Stone patio can increase the value of your home, which is great news given the unstable housing market. Let’s look into this a bit further.

A Quick Disclaimer

Before you see pound signs in that leaky, mildew-encrusted, draughty orangery that juts out of your house like an unsightly afterthought, I’m afraid there’s some bad news. The orangeries of old don’t appeal to the needs of new buyers who increasingly seek energy efficient, comfortable orangeries. It’s better to tear it down and increase your outdoor space facility and invest in having a grand outdoor patio with a marquee to assist you all year round.

It’s Partially About the View

While you’ll already know that a good view carries a hefty price tag, you may be surprised to know that a good garden and an orangery have the same effect. Given that modern homes are increasingly used for entertaining, and more people than ever are demanding outdoor facilities, the addition of an outdoor patio is a clever investment indeed.

It’s Also About Extra Living Space

The average Briton’s increasingly busy and diverse lifestyles mean demand for space is increasing. More importantly, the more multi-functional the space is, the more people will want it. Given that patios are good for hosting an outdoor garden party, this would also help for family bonding time and outdoor dinner place facilities. A house which has a lot of outdoor garden space definitely ticks all the right boxes for the modern household.

And Don’t Forget Energy Efficiency

Modern patios can be used all year round. Many are self-cleaning.  Energy-efficient homes are front of mind for homebuyers and if you can show how your patio can save you on energy consumption you’ll gain a lot of interest.

Installing an outdoor patio is an attractive investment you can enjoy now and profit from in the future. Comprising the finest building materials and the latest technologies, the best patios will give you much more than a nice place to view the garden.
