Garden Offices for Stay-at-Home Mums

Funding a your Garden Office purchase

Understandably stay -at-home parents have to make sure that any money spent on creating the right space to work is going to pay off in the long term so here are some considerations;

1 - Garden offices start at just £6995, which is considerably less than the cost of either an extension to your home or a conservatory being built. With the added benefits of the Garden office taking only 4 weeks from ordering to construction being complete. There is no need to cover the furniture for all the dust and no disruption to your household. Also with garden offices which are more that 5 meters away from the house itself no planning consent is needed this alone can cut the waiting time for your office space by as much as 6-8 weeks.

2 - Garden offices models are available in small sizes to make them affordable and  help restrict the amount of space they take up in your garden and yet still give you more than enough room to work.

3 - Garden offices have proven to add value to homes and as such borrowing to fund your office should be looked upon favourably by lenders looking for security in your property value i.e.. mortgages, re-mortgages and secured loans.

4 - Borrowing has become much more affordable with base rate interest staying at or below 5% for the last 5 or more years and as such a loan to cover the cost of your office can be spread over anything from 3 to 25 years. So your office could be paid for over the short or long term bringing the monthly cost to an affordable amount for any pocket.
