Does Rendering a House Add Value in the UK? | HouseRenderPro

Yes, Rendering Adds Value – Here’s How Much

According to 2025 UK estate agent data:

• Average value increase: 5–10% (e.g., £15k–£30k on £300k home)

• Faster sales: Rendered homes sell 19% quicker (Rightmove)

• Buyer appeal: 68% prefer rendered exteriors for "modern look & weather protection"

George Edward notes: "In rainy areas like Manchester or Wales, rendering often adds more value due to its damp-proofing benefits."

3 Ways Rendering Boosts Your Home’s Worth

1. Kerb Appeal = Higher Valuations

• Problem: Peeling paint/cracked walls deter buyers

• Solution: Fresh rendering gives a "like-new" facade

• Impact: Estate agents report 7% higher initial valuations

2. Energy Efficiency Upgrades

• Insulated render systems cut heating bills by 15–25%

• EPC rating boost: 5–10 points (making homes more mortgageable)

3. Reduces Future Repair Costs

Rendering prevents:

• Brickwork erosion (saves £2,000+ repointing)

• Damp penetration (prevents £5k+ damp-proof courses)

• Structural cracks (avoids £10k+ foundation fixes)

**Repairs prevent value loss rather than add gains

When Rendering WON’T Add Value

Poor work reduces value. Avoid these pitfalls:

• Non-breathable renders on period homes → traps moisture

• DIY jobs → cracks/peeling put off buyers

• Over-improving (e.g., luxury silicone render on £150k terrace)

Maximising Your ROI: 4 Expert Tips

1. Match render to property type:

   • Victorian terraces → Traditional scratch coat

   • 1990s semis → Silicone render

   • Coastal cottages → Pebble dash

2. Focus on facades:
   Front-only rendering costs 40% less but delivers 90% of kerb appeal benefits.

3. Bundle with insulation:
   Insulated render adds £20/m² cost but boosts EPC – adding £5k+ value.

4. Choose neutral colours:
   Cream/beige renders appeal to 83% of buyers (vs. 27% for bold colours).
