Do patio doors add value to your home?
Patio doors can improve appeal and help a home sell, but there is no reliable figure for how much value they add. They help most when they open a living area onto a usable garden, and least when poorly fitted or hard to secure.
What do buyers look for?
- Natural light and a visual link to the garden
- Easy access to a patio or outdoor space
- Good security and smooth operation
- A neat finish inside and out
What reduces the appeal?
Misted units, stiff locks, draughts or a visibly dated frame can put buyers off. A high-quality replacement often matters more than simply having patio doors.
What should I specify for the best result?
- Double glazing that meets the Building Regulations for replacement doors
- Multipoint locking with an anti-snap cylinder
- A low-profile threshold that drains water well
- Installer sign-off and a guarantee, which a buyer’s solicitor may ask for
