There’s an interesting article I have read on the Daily Mail website at:
In the article I was particularly interested in the following statement:
And just how much value do these glass structures add? Allen says in the short term you can expect to cover the costs of a building a conservatory and, provided it’s the ‘right’ sort of size, add 5 per cent to the home’s value.
The Sewters bought their house eight years ago for around £200,000 and claim to have spent £42,000 on their glass structure, excluding extras such as flooring.
The couple recently had their house valued at around £895,000 and estimate that the conservatory alone, which was created with the extension just over a year ago, added roughly £200,000 to that figure.
‘To get a return like this, you need a top-notch supplier,’ says Allen. ‘But conservatories need to be carefully sited and of sufficient size, not just a glass passage. If the conservatory is less than 4m by 3m, it’s not worth having. It’s got to be big, bold and used as a room year-round.’
For the record, Conservatory Outlet build the biggest, boldest uPVC conservatories in the world, ever.

As usual The D***y M**L’s tosh dept reaches parts other newspapers can only dream about. How could anyone associate such a wonderful structure with one of those vulgar white upvc thingy’s that poor people live in.
It can clearly be seen from the picture that the ‘conservatory’ sorry ‘their contemporary glass room’ has a tiled roof which me and my ‘contemporary’ mates in the trade refer to as an extension. Oddly enough the local planners probably called it the same!
No doubt the proud property developing owners are so pleased with their creation they will steadfastly refuse any readers offering to buy it!
