CONSERVATORIES

• A conservatory will increase the size of your home. This is great if you have children, especially if you are expecting another one on the way soon!
• Whilst having a conservatory installed at your home could be quite expensive, it will still often work out cheaper than moving into a bigger house.
• The cost of simply moving house alone could cost you around £10,000 when you take into consideration estate agent fees, removals and stamp duty you could purchase a very nice conservatory for less than that.
• A conservatory not only makes a great addition to your home but should you decide to sell it, a it is a great feature to have and will often up the asking price.
• One of the great things about a conservatory is all of the glass, it allows in a lot of sunshine which really improves the ambiance. Sunlight is a mood enhancer, so your conservatory will be a great place to retreat to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday living.
• A conservatory really does bring the outside inside and will provide your home with a great transition between the house and garden. This can be further extended if you were to have a patio installed just off of your conservatory, which would add a further element of extra living space.
• A conservatory can provide you with lots of options, for example if you’ve always wanted a dining room, hey presto, you’ve got one! Or if you need a room for all of the children’s toys to be hidden from view, you can have just that.
