Does a Driveway Gate Increase Home Value?
So, Do Driveway Gates Increase Property Value?
When it comes to home improvement and enhancing the aesthetics of your home, it’s not just down to what your home looks like but also the overall value and saleability that these changes can impact. Therefore, making the right choices will ensure that you are improving your home in ways that will also benefit you later down the line, should you come to sell your home.
Driveway gates are known to improve the value of the average property by around 5%.
But..How?
Kerb Appeal
A pair of beautifully designed, well-installed gates will give your property value a boost because they simply just look great.
Your driveway gates are the first snippet of your property that your visitors will see when they arrive at your home. With plenty of designs available, you can truly tailor your driveway to best suit you and your style, and make sure that it works with the surrounding landscape. Whether you’re looking for a more traditional wooden driveway gate or a striking modern design, there will be something available to suit you perfectly and set the tone for the rest of your home.
Security and Privacy
A driveway gate will also increase the security and privacy of your home. You and your family can rest assured that your gate will control who enters and exits your property, with the added peace of mind that this is even the case when you’re away from home.
This increased level of seclusion can be a significant selling point when it comes to selling your home, particularly if you live in a busy area.
Keep Your Kids and Pets Safe
Safety is, of course, the main priority of any family home. With a driveway gate, you can let your children and pets play outside without the risk of unwanted access or anyone peering into your private garden space. You can truly kick back and relax in your own company, and enjoy family time without any added stress.
Other Ways To Increase Home Value
In terms of increasing your home value as a whole, you want to tick off several different additions to improve the overall look of your home and make it more appealing to potential buyers. This could include fresh paint on the exterior walls, modern fixtures and sprucing up the front and back gardens. New side gates and garage doors can also be a good way to lift the front of your home and give that all-important striking first impression. House hunters will be more inclined to pay for the extra luxury of not having to renovate or change a home much once they move in, so the outlook of adding these extra touches to your home is positive all around.
