Coving and the resale value of a property

Would having various coving installed in my living room, kitchen and around the outside of my home add value to my home by any significant degree?

"Well, depending on the type of house it is, for example, if Victorian keeping or replacing ornate coving would have value, especially if it was broken or torn down, some new homes not so sure, as it would be more for decoration and hiding unsightly ceiling line, i.e. cracks."

"I think we don't do much coving these days, only patching it in to match up to an existing client who doesn't want to take it all off; coving is outdated. I hope this helps. Ryan."

"Like anything else in your home , if they are put up correctly and painted correctly they are pleasing to the eye . It’s entirely a personal preference"

"not really to be honest, unless its the original moulded coving from when the house was built"

"Yes and no, all depends on the type of property because they are considered a more traditional style."
