If you know that your current address is not your forever home, you may wonder whether building an indoor pool is a worthwhile investment.<\/p>\n

Sure, adding an indoor pool to your home is exciting and could significantly enhance your quality of life \u2013 but will it add long-term value to the property?<\/p>\n

In this article, we answer the question, \u2018Does an indoor pool add value to a home?<\/strong>\u2019 and offer practical advice on how to ensure your pool enhances your property\u2019s appeal rather than diminishing it.<\/p>\n

Does a swimming pool increase a home\u2019s value?<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So, does an indoor pool add value to a home?<\/p>\n

According to Bankrate<\/a>, adding a pool can boost your home\u2019s value by approximately seven per cent However, other sources<\/a> suggest the increase could be as much as 20 per cent.<\/p>\n

The amount of value an indoor pool adds to your home really depends on how well the pool has been designed and the condition it\u2019s in when you come to sell.<\/p>\n

A well-designed and meticulously maintained indoor pool could prove to be an excellent selling point, whereas a dilapidated pool that needs some repairs and maintenance before it can be safely used could put potential buyers off.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Is it worth having a swimming pool in the UK?<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Whether or not it\u2019s worth having a swimming pool built in your home really depends on how much you and your family would use and enjoy it.<\/p>\n

In the UK, the weather isn\u2019t often nice enough to comfortably enjoy swimming outdoors. So, having a heated indoor pool in your home can provide endless opportunities for exercise, relaxation, and fun.<\/p>\n

The fact that it could also add significant value and appeal to your home when it\u2019s time to sell is just a bonus.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Is it harder to sell a house with a pool in the UK?<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

While the UK\u2019s unpredictable climate may make some buyers view an outdoor pool as impractical, indoor pools tend to be much more appealing.<\/p>\n

Indoor pools are not only easier to maintain but can also be enjoyed year-round, making them an attractive and valuable selling point for many homes.<\/p>\n

Homes with indoor pools are often high-end properties targeting luxury buyers.<\/p>\n

If your pool is well-designed, it can become a standout feature that significantly boosts your home\u2019s desirability when it comes time to sell.<\/p>\n

Of course, every buyer has different preferences and priorities, and an indoor pool may not be desirable to every potential buyer \u2013 but then you can\u2019t please everyone!<\/p>\n
