[Morayfield, 20/12/2022] Adding a patio to a home can increase its resale value because patios are a popular feature many buyers look for in a house. According to local real estate experts, a well-designed patio can increase the resale value of a home by up to 10% with an estimated 80% return on investment (ROI). In view of this, adding a patio can be an excellent option for homeowners looking to increase the worth of their properties.
Factors to Consider in Your Patio Design
Adding a patio is an attractive way to increase home resale value, but there are a few factors that should be taken into account when creating the perfect patio plan.
Location
A patio should have an open, inviting atmosphere that makes the most of its surroundings while allowing for privacy and protection from the elements. An ideal spot for a patio is either in the backyard near a garden or in front of the house to create a beautiful outdoor living space.
Quality Materials
When selecting materials for a patio, opt for durable and weather-resistant options like brick, pavers, or concrete. These materials have a longer lifespan and require much less maintenance than other materials, such as wood or tile. The roofing material should also be carefully chosen to ensure optimal sun and rain protection. Many homeowners opt for aluminium or steel roofs, as they are both strong and lightweight.
Design Details
The patio should have a comfortable atmosphere that reflects the home's character. Adding planters and seating will create a cozy outdoor space, and installing an outdoor kitchen is perfect for entertaining guests. Small details such as subtle lighting and greenery can also add a touch of charm to the patio.
Professional Installation
For a high-quality patio build, it is best to hire a professional. A skilled contractor will ensure that the build meets all safety and design standards and that the materials and installation are up to code.
