Adding a log cabin to your home does more than give it some new aesthetic appeal. The presence of your new log cabin can genuinely add value to your property, enhancing its resale value. How much could your home be worth with this addition? Let’s find out.
Why Log Cabins Are Appealing
- A log cabin makes your home more attractive to prospective buyers by adding a new room to your property.
- They’re a far more affordable option than home extensions, which cost an average of £86,686.
- Log cabin installation happens within a couple of days, as opposed to a few months for a standard home extension.
- You can find multi-room log cabins that bring even more diversity to your property.
- You’re able to choose between various cabin designs and additional features – such as insulation, double-glazed windows and more.
Boost Your Property Value Up To 15% With A Log Cabin
- Adding a quality log cabin to your property is a clever investment, with recent studies showing an average property value increase of up to 15%.
- Moreover, log cabins are proven to speed up the selling process and lead to much faster closures for property owners.
- Further research also indicates that this investment could help you sell your home for an additional 10% on top of the asking price.
- So, in theory, you can list your property for up to 15% more than before it had a log cabin, and then sell it for another 10% on top of that!
Multi-Room Log Cabins Deliver Even More Value
- The bigger your log cabin is, the more value it will add to your property, simply because it becomes more practical.
- Some homeowners choose to buy a log cabin and use it as an annexe for grandparents or guests to stay in. If you’re lucky, this can bring in anywhere between 20-30% added onto your property’s market value.
- When combined with insulation and double-glazing, a multi-room cabin becomes a usable space throughout the year. Homeowners appreciate this, and that’s what drives the potential resale value through the roof.
Understanding The Costs Of Log Cabin Installation
- Top-quality log cabins from 1st Choice Leisure Buildings will cost anywhere between £2,624 to just over £10,000.
- Our range of cabins has optional services available such as assembly, base building, insulation, electrics, painting, as well as site surveys.
- Prices will vary based on your log cabin’s size, how many rooms it contains, and what features you add to it.
- To save even more money, you can order a pre-made log cabin instead of going down the custom build route.
How To Add Even More Value With A Log Cabin
- As mentioned, multi-room log cabins will add more value to your home than a singular one.
- The more beneficial and livable features your cabin has (e.g. electricity, double-glazed windows, insulation, soundproofing), the more its value will increase.
- Adding solar panels to your log cabin could add a further 4-14% to your home’s overall resale value.
- Giving your log cabin a specific purpose can also make it more valuable – such as turning it into an outdoor gym, a home garden office, an external bathroom, and so on.
