The Advantages Of Having A Porch Installed At Your Home

Until you have a porch built onto your home it is difficult to appreciate just how useful they are. Once you have had a porch for a while you may well wonder how you managed to cope without one.

A porch will be a priceless addition

Imagine you’re stood in front of two houses – one has a porch integrated into its design and the other hasn’t – which house do you think is likely to stand-out more? More often than not it will be the house with the porch that creates the best first impression.

However, the stylistic advantage of having a porch fitted is just one of several reasons why you should consider bringing one into the fold.

  1. Adds extra space

Whilst nowhere near as spacious as a conservatory or orangery, a porch offers a decent amount of space for storing items of clothing (hats, scarves, coats, shoes) and is far more affordable. This will prevent them from clogging up space in other areas of the home.

  1. Selling point

When putting your property up for sale you cannot expect to secure a buyer quickly if your home lacks some sort of selling points. A porch can definitely be classed as a major selling point and could play a pivotal part in attracting buyer attention.

  1. Improved value

Following on from the last point, having a porch will boost the resale price of your home, so you could demand a higher asking price than you would if you didn’t have one. A well-designed porch that complements the original building will make a big difference.

  1. Improved security

Do you ever feel concerned about the welfare of your home when you leave it empty? Adding a porch will make your home more secure as the windows and door included in the design offer tremendous durability, as do the locks affixed to them.

  1. No hassle installation

Normally you won’t be left hanging around weeks on end waiting for your porch installation to be completed as most comply with planning permission rules. This will apply when it is regarded as being a “permitted development”.
