Conservatories 'the easiest way to add space to property'

An expert has claimed conservatories are a great way to add space to a home The installation of conservatory is the easiest way for homeowners to add space to their property, an expert has claimed.An expert has suggested that conservatories offer the "easiest" way for property owners to add space to their homes.

However, Jason Orme, editor of Homebuilding & Renovating Magazine, said that those seeking conservatory quotes should always focus on investing in a "good quality" extension and should avoid overly cheap options.

According to the expert, the choice of the latter may not add value to a property and could impact on the overall saleability of a home.

"My view is that built well and designed well they can be really nice, but I think 95 per cent of conservatories are off the shelf, out of a catalogue and bolted on to a house and that really isn't the way to go," he explained.

"They need to be individually designed around individual houses so there is not really a shortcut to doing it right."

Recent research by Halifax found that an average extension adds over £25,000 to a property's value.
