- A new study by property portal Zoopla suggests that specific home features can significantly increase a property's value, especially when sold during certain seasons.
- During summer, a sunny or south-facing garden can add an average of £5,832 to a three-bedroom home, while a swimming pool could add £5,897.
- Other features that boost summer sales include balconies, hot tubs, and air conditioning, according to insights from over 100 UK estate agents.
- In winter, features like traditional fireplaces (£4,568), under-floor heating (£3,985), and energy efficiency measures (£3,402) can enhance a property's value.
- Experts advise sellers to seek tailored advice from estate agents, as the added value depends on factors like location and local demand, and buyers might find better deals out of season.
