Home offices now deemed essential
Quoting James Law of Stacks Property Finders
In the post-Covid world, dedicated home office space was always regarded as a valuable commodity. Valuable, but not essential.
However, with many initially forced to work from home and a large percentage of those continuing to do so, in the post-Covid period, a good workspace has become essential for many buyers.
Where an outside office has been custom-built or created in an existing outbuilding, it will certainly add a premium, and where potential buyers can see that an internal space or room works well as an office, it will often help that property sell.
James Law, of Stacks Property Search, says: “The best workspaces or home offices will be behind closed doors, or even better having their own separate access. Space that other members of the family are walking through, and that can’t be cut off from household noise, are unquestionably compromised. Everyone who’s been on the Zoom circuit for the last three months will know how difficult it is to focus when family life is coming and going, even if they’re doing it with hushed voices.
