Many people will want to know if a swimming pool will add value to their home. For most, a large home investment should be reflected in its future value.
There are certain projects that certainly increase the market price of a property:
- Extension – to add more living or sleeping space.
- Adding a bedroom – extension or loft conversion.
- Adding a bathroom.
- Updating your bathroom or kitchen.
- Removing a wall to make your living space open plan – create a large kitchen/diner/lounge area.
- Converting a basement or cellar.
- Converting your garage to a living space.
- Conservatory – increase living space. A tiled roof conservatory will add more value.
Define Value.
A swimming pool is not on the proven list but this isn’t the negative it first appears. The value of a swimming pool cannot be measured in pounds. There is much more to consider in terms of quality of life. The benefits of a private swimming pool at home are:
- Best form of exercise – swimming is probably the safest form of exercise for all ages (once you have learnt to swim!). No stress on the joints which is great for those who are overweight, elderly or have joint problems. Swimming is good cardio exercise but also strengthens muscles and keeps joints supple.
- Easy access to exercise – you don’t have to go far to swim! There are no restrictions regarding opening hours and you don’t have to share with lots of other people! No need to feel self-conscious.
- Family time – a great source of fun for the whole family – lots of opportunity to interact, play games and learn new skills.
- Wellbeing – swimming is beneficial for emotional and mental wellbeing. It increase fitness levels, produces endorphins and can improve body image. A super way to let off steam!
- Sociable – super party location for all ages.
For those who appreciate all the above, your home will definitely be considered more valuable. The selling potential of your property then increases.
