Yes, well-chosen patio doors can add appeal and value by improving light, the link to the garden and the look of the back of the house. There is no fixed percentage uplift, though. The effect depends on quality, condition and how well the doors suit the home. See our patio doors.
What do buyers notice about patio doors?
- More daylight and a better view of the garden.
- Easy garden access.
- Modern frames that look cared for.
- Good security and insulation.
What reduces the benefit?
- Misted or failed glazed units.
- A style that clashes with the house.
- Worn locks, tracks or hinges.
- No compliance certificate for the work.
Do better doors make a house more comfortable?
Thermally efficient frames and double glazing reduce draughts and heat loss. Buyers notice the comfort on a viewing, and the running costs follow.
What paperwork should you keep?
Replacement doors fitted after April 2002 should come with a certificate from a competent person scheme, and buyers’ solicitors commonly ask for it. Keep it with the guarantee. Because we are Certass registered, a compliance certificate for the replacement doors comes with the job.
