Will a garage add value to your home?

If you are considering building a garage on to your home then you may wonder if it will add value. A lot of this depends on how the garage is built and whether it adds space or removes it from your home. If for example you only have a very small garden then adding a garage which uses up a lot of this space may reduce the amount your house is worth. In most cases, though adding a garage to your home will add value. If you have the garage built with deep enough foundations then you may even be able to build on top of it and add another room if needed. This again will add value on to your home and make it easier to sell.

Garages used to be built to store vehicles in but often now, people do not always use the garage for that purpose and instead use it to store items such as lawnmowers, camping equipment or set it up as an indoor gym. You want your garage to be waterproof and if you are going to want electrical sockets in there, you will need to ensure that it is all wired correctly. You may even deice to use your garage as a laundry room, in which case ventilation is important.
