Does a sauna add value to my home?
As with so many home improvements, the answer to the above question is, ‘Well, that depends.”
Saunas are certainly very popular and rightly so. A sauna will help you relax; it can be part of your healthy lifestyle or social whirl. Saunas are generally good to look at and cheap to run. They need very little maintenance and yes, they carry with them a certain European cache that most people find attractive.
There is certainly something very appealing about having a sauna in your own home.
Having said that, they are also rather personal and your ‘perfect sauna’ may not appeal to everyone.
Location, location, location.
There is a classic estate agents rule of thumb that you cannot improve any properties value significantly above the ceiling of its particular area. That means, country estate or terraced cottage, there will be a maximum price that anyone is prepared to pay for a house in that particular location and no matter how many luxurious home improvements you put in, you’ll never get above that price.
The other aspect of the location question is, where in your house have you put your sauna?
For instance, you might think that tucking a sauna away in the cupboard under the stairs was a neat and clever plan. For a lot of people, it might be a little off-putting.
If your sauna fits comfortably and elegantly into your home, and your house looks like the type of place that could or should have a sauna then it will certainly be an asset in getting people interested in your property.
Adding value.
One thing to remember about saunas is that they need not be that expensive and they are reasonably quick and easy to fit. One of the reasons that bathrooms and kitchens are so important to selling a house is that they are expensive to replace and almost more importantly, the trauma and upheaval of having them replaced or refurbished is something that everyone is keen to avoid. So they pay the premium not to have to do just that.
If you are thinking of installing a sauna in your home then obviously the better thought out and designed it is and the better quality it is then the more impact it might have on your property price.
Perhaps more importantly it will add value to your home while you are still living there. Your sauna is a perfect way to relax at the end of a hard day, a perfect setting for weekend socialising with friends or family and one of the best ways there is of feeling truly clean and healthy in the midst of this hectic, bustling world.
