Homeowners have long known that extra storage space is a valuable asset, but new research from LoftZone has revealed just how much value a professionally boarded loft can add to a property.
LoftZone recently surveyed 500 estate agents across the UK to better understand the impact that accessible loft storage has on property values. The results were striking and have since been featured in numerous national newspapers and property publications.
How Much Value Can a Boarded Loft Add?
According to the survey, a boarded and readily accessible loft space can increase the value of a property by an average of:
£17,677 for a four-bedroom home
£13,821 for a three-bedroom home
£9,867 for a two-bedroom home
These figures demonstrate that loft boarding is not just about creating additional storage space – it can also be a smart investment that contributes to the overall value of your property.
Why Do Estate Agents Value Boarded Lofts?
Storage space is one of the most sought-after features for homebuyers. A well-boarded loft provides homeowners with a safe, clean, and easily accessible area to store seasonal items, family keepsakes, decorations, luggage, and much more.
When potential buyers view a property, a usable loft can make a strong impression by showing that the home offers practical storage solutions without sacrificing living space.
Estate agents recognise that homes with organised and accessible storage often appeal to a wider range of buyers and can stand out in a competitive market.
A Cost-Effective Home Improvement
Unlike many home improvement projects, loft boarding is relatively affordable and can often be completed quickly with minimal disruption. When compared with the potential increase in property value identified by the LoftZone study, the return on investment can be substantial.
In addition to increasing storage capacity, professionally installed loft boarding can:
Create safe access to your loft
Protect loft insulation from being compressed
Improve organisation within the home
Make better use of existing space
Enhance buyer appeal when selling your property
Featured in the National Press
The findings from LoftZone's survey have generated significant interest within the property sector and have been widely reported by national newspapers and online property publications.
The widespread media coverage highlights the growing recognition of loft boarding as a practical and valuable home improvement project.
