According to the analysis, a home office can add approximately 7.5 per cent to a property's value. Based on the current average UK house price of £268,548, this equates to a respectable £20,141 in added value.
However, homeowners looking to maximise these spaces could achieve even greater returns by considering alternative uses. The research suggests several transformations could significantly outperform the value added by a home office.
The most lucrative transformation is converting a home office into a dressing room or walk-in wardrobe, which could boost property value by 14.5 per cent.
