Flat roof to Pitched roof

Lozza10

How much is my house value likely to improve by changing from a flat roof to a pitched roof?

Probably nothing

It would be easier to sell with a pitched roof, many buyers are put off by flat roofs.

I disagree,

properly done a pitched roof can add considerably to the value of a property

It would also depend on what part of the property the flat roof was on. Bedroom or kitchen or other living area it would probably matter more than a garage.

Thanks for all your replies. It will be replacement of the whole roof.

Definately a pitched roof, flat roofs are a big NO for me

I'm not a fan of flat roofs at all, so I'm all for a pitches roof. However are you looking at changing the roof and then selling or changing and living in the house? I ask as the cost for the pitched roof with immediate may not make the money back, I'd probably be inclined to ask a few local estate agents just for a rough figure

Sorry my initial answer was a bit flippant I obviously didn't realise it was the main roof of the house.
Maybe a bit more description of the house and area.
Do other houses have pitched or flat.
How old is the house .
Will you be able to change it, may be a conservation area.
How big is the house. etc
A pitched roof will usually have some inherent value with regards to maintenance.
What is the current roof construction.
Is the structure suitable for adding apitched roof.

There are many variables which affect the price of a house.
For example Buckingham Palace has a flat roof , I don't think putting a pitched roof on it is going to increase it's value.
