Hi all,

http://www.i-scape.co.uk/index.html

iscapes: cool garden offices from £5k to £7.5k complete with electrics and lighting and a life expectancy of over 40 years! No planning permission should be required other than in execeptional cicumstances. C4’s Property Ladder advised a garden office should add about 5% value to your home. You do the math!

Are you saying this price is cheap then?

If you're house is worth £100k-£150k or more it should pay for itself - on sale of the house that is

Lol! I thought they were going to be something really amazingly cool looking. How wrong could I be. They are just simply porter cabins painted in different colours. Is this a joke? Is it the 1st of April or something? If you ask me this would take 5% of the value off of your house because the new owners would have to pay to get it taken away and then get the garden done up again.

:rotfl:

It's almost that bad it could be spam.

I was asking if they were cheap,though,compared to others.

So you'll be buying one then Carl yeah?!

Admittedly the coloured ones don't look great, but the cedar clad ones look pretty neat I think - at this kind of price range.

The garden office at http://www.retreathomes.co.uk/home.html is cooler, and probably more what you were hoping for, but you're paying £26k+

...which answers holly's price differential

This wouldnt have anything to do with them offering £250 for a recommendation then?

Jeez you guys are suspicious - first spam and now referral. The fact is I found this on the latest edition of the Springwise e-letter yesterday, which is all about new stuff to market - which I can recommend as a great weekly read. Maybe others will share my perception of this being good value for money. If you don't, fine!

But you havent showed enough fair comparisons for people to decide if its good value for money,and as the person who has put the article on springwise is their own Managing director..well..

Nice idea but for my money I'd prefer something like this;

These are slightly bigger, better on the eye and look the part in a garden.

There is no reason that they wouldn't add 5% onto your house value but are half the price to buy, then manufacture and power isn't going to come to more than £1500, even better if you can DIY.
