Does a luxury pergola add value to your home?
Garden pergolas have been a beloved staple of outdoor furnishing since antiquity, with notable surges in popularity in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This period saw elegant brick and stone pergolas with striking cross-beam roofs proliferate through opulent country estates. Still, these structures are built for their beauty and luxury, with the homeowners of today reaping the rewards of age-old landscaping techniques colliding with the added conveniences of modern technology.
The-Oi’s motorised pergola is a star example of this, guaranteeing outdoor comfort all year round. Not only do homeowners get to enjoy the lasting aesthetic beauty and multipurpose functionality, but a well-tailored garden pergola is also a lucrative endeavour, with a return on investment estimated between 50% and 80%.
All considered, this is no surprise. Here are just some of the ways luxury garden furnishing might transform the potential of your home and its selling points.
Visual splendour
The most salient example of a pergola’s impact on a property is of course its aesthetic appeal. These artful designs provide a defined centrepiece beyond the home’s interior, allowing a purposeful space for relaxation, exercise, entertainment, and just about anything else. Slatted pergolas especially are marvellous opportunities to experiment with climbing plants, decor, and playful lighting whilst seamlessly integrating the space with its natural surroundings. These unique touches bring personality and an all-important wow factor to a home- kindly hiking up its potential sell price.
Practicality
In need of a winter pergola? Or a waterproof pergola? Garden architectures designed by the team of professionals at The-Oi are built for plentiful, year-round usage and we’ve written before defending the winter-time potential of our pergolas. We understand the importance of getting full usage out of your investment throughout the seasons and, with our expertise, a pergola promises beauty and day-to-day practicality.
Not only is your pergola there to enjoy every day of the year, but you’ll also escape the harrowing planning permission paperwork you might expect with a traditional outbuilding. For UK homeowners, as long as the roof of your pergola sits under 4 metres high and 2 metres within the boundary of your property, there's little risk of being held back by bureaucracy. However, this might not always be the case for our lucky clients who reside in areas of outstanding natural beauty or historic listed buildings. In these specific cases, you’re best contacting your local government body to authorise your garden alterations.
But for most of us, erecting a pergola is easy work for an impressive reward. At The-Oi we provide a smooth, wrap-around service, supplying and building outdoor structures and renovations. This means you’ll be guided by professionals at each stage of your journey to ensure your dream vision is met to perfection. You’ll reap the practical, artistic, and long-term financial benefits without the stress and responsibility about the particulars weighing you down along the way.
Maximising space
Another major advantage of a garden pergola in furthering the value of your home is the additional living space it suddenly conjures. It's likely that your property currently has outdoor space going to waste. A forlorn, forgotten corner of your garden could be transformed into an imaginative, inviting, multipurpose arena.
Since the coronavirus pandemic, there has been a ‘race for space’ within the property market as people spend more time at home and in their gardens. A diverse and spacious living expanse is hard fought for in today’s world, so utilising the outdoor space you already have to construct a breathtaking relaxation oasis, a distinct kids fun house that keeps the mess and chaos away from the main house, a unique and dedicated outdoor workout stage, or just about anything else, is a sure way to inspire prospective buyers.
Quality and versatile materials
From the sleek sophistication of modern pergolas fitted with tech-driven retractable glass roofs to more classical wooden pergolas synchronised with the natural world, The-Oi delivers quality and diverse materials to suit any aesthetic vision. We’ll even help you combine the two styles with your own wooden pergola with a retractable roof!
Our retractable roofs are designed to be installed directly onto the main house. There's the opportunity to install tension fabric vertical blinds and aluminium walling solutions for a fully sheltered, fully water-tight extension to your home. The beautiful versatility of a pergola means one moment you can enjoy a comfortable and encased appendage to your living space, and the next moment you can welcome in the sun and outdoors by sweeping open its sliding glass doors and drawing back the roof’s blinds at the mere press of a button.
