If you're thinking your house could do with a little more space and you're tempted to add in a conservatory, think again - as it could knock several thousand pounds off your home's value.
Once a hugely popular building feature aiming to add extra light and space, conservatories aren't always seen as a desirable part of the home anymore. Housing experts now say they look dated and they're not particularly energy-efficient - putting off a lot of potential buyers due to the energy crisis.
The website Rightmove has shown that there are were 52 per cent fewer houses coming onto the market with conservatories in 2022, compared to ten years previously. Other figures show there were around a million built in 2006, compared to 77,000 constructed in 2017, the Mirror reports.
