TOP 3 REASONS TO CONVERT YOUR LOFT

• INCREASED PROPERTY VALUE

It is widely perceived that a loft conversion will add a significant amount of money to the value of a property. Whilst the exact figure varies, many credible sources have determined that a professional loft conversion can increase a house’s value by approximately 20%* (in some areas up to 40%)

It is also reported that in many lenders opinion, as well as creating extra space, loft conversions could also benefit homeowners when they eventually come to sell. Indeed, they may find they are able to take out a smaller mortgage on their next home thanks to the value they have added to their existing property.

• IMPROVED ENERGY EFFICIENCY & SAVINGS

In the UK, homes are responsible for approximately 28 per cent of carbon dioxide emissions, a major contributor to climate change. Loft conversions are important; they can provide new, energy efficient accommodation and can also improve the overall energy efficiency of the houses.

Converting a loft into a living area provides more space but need not increase heat losses or fuel costs. Homeowners can quickly recover any additional costs for energy efficiency measures through reduced fuel bills.

Payback periods are usually less than seven years, and fuel costs are reduced for the entire life of the building.

• INCREASED LIVING SPACE, WITHOUT THE COST AND STRESS OF MOVING

Research by Abbey suggests that factoring all moving costs together, the total cost of moving is around £16,000 - and says the average homeowner then spends a further £6,000 in the first year doing up their property. That's £22,000…ouch!
