A carport or veranda may not be the first thing that pops into the mind of your customers when looking to increase the value of their property, yet despite the cost of installing a carport or a veranda, these structures can return a healthy increase in the value of any property.
The reasons for this can be easily conveyed to your customers to help them make an informed decision when you propose a carport or veranda addition to their property. So how can a carport or veranda benefit your customers and add value to their property? Here are the top benefits to tell your customers!
1. Carports and Verandas Offer More Living Space
When surveyed last year, more space was the third highest demand for home buyers, with 27% stating it was a priority. According to those surveyed, home buyers were willing to pay more than £10,000 for homes with extra living space, and only properties with investment opportunities achieved more in the survey.
Therefore, those looking to sell might want to look for ways to cost effectively add on living space and those currently not looking for a new home, might still be interested in more space.
A carport or veranda is the perfect solution. Homeowners can use one as a place to host garden parties and barbeques and with their modern look will impress guests.
2. Extra Storage Space
In today’s modern world we are always looking for storage space and whole industries have been created to solve this problem. However, an easier solution for your clients might be to have a carport. Also, veranda’s help protect items stored such as barbeques and garden furniture from harsh weather and direct sunlight. Regularly attending a storage unit to collect items can be inconvenient.
3. It Protects The Homeowner’s Car
Protection for a car, campervan, boat or caravan is the most common reason cited for buying a carport. According to a recent survey, 15% of home buyers prioritise a carport or garage and are willing to pay up to £7,600 for one. Carports are great at protecting the homeowner’s car or another vehicle as the most damage to a car comes from extreme weather such as intense UV rays, falling branches and hailstones. A carport will not only help protect your customer’s valued possession from all the elements but also damaging bird droppings.
4. Curb Appeal
There is nothing that looks messier than having a couple of cars parked haphazardly across a driveway or the lawn. This can make the difference in a neighbourhood where people pride themselves on how the front of the house appears, particularly when looking to selling a home.
By using a carport as a parking space, your customers can better show off their property and the front garden.
Conclusion
By using what home buyers want to have in a home and some practical reasons, you can make an easier job of selling carports and verandas to your potential customers, which in turn can help you boost sales and profit.
