Here in the UK, its rare to find someone that hasn’t spent money on their home making it the way they want. But did you know that by undertaking this exercise of home improvement, you are actually adding value to your home? And open fire can be cosy, and depending on the fuel type, can be easy to maintain – but do log burners really add value to your home? The answer having researched the industry is a simple and resounding YES!
Currently in the UK, over half the properties (and possibly more) boast and contain a log burner of some degree. For many, it encapsulates the idyllic vision of the complete living room. Imagine snuggling up in front of the fire on a cold winter’s day, with the family watching you favourite show on TV. For many, this is the type of scenario that people aspire to achieve. For others, log burners can be a more cost-effective way of keeping a property warm and insulated. But whatever your reason maybe, a log burner can really add some value to your home.
A log burner can cost anywhere from £500 to £3000 – thus adding almost 5% to the value of your home.
So if you’re looking to add a log burner to your property, you’ll not only get the benefit of potentially saving on energy bills, but also adding the all important value to your property.
