"A garage has multiple values , more space , storage , car parking or converted into living quarters.

"In general yes a garage conversion adds another room to the property, How much all depends on your location and house prices and ceiling value for that area."

"A garage can add anywhere between 5% and 15% to a property’s value, depending on the type, location, and how it’s used.

Usable garage (parking/storage):
Typically adds £10,000–£25,000+ in value on an average UK home
Garage conversion (into living space):
Can add 10%–20%, especially if it becomes a bedroom, office, or kitchen extension"

"Depending on usage, home offices are a popular trend lately, if you go down the addition of foul drainage along with cold water feed. Gives the opportunity to have toilet, electric shower and electric water heater for basin and sink in a small kitchenette area. With then the opportunity for the Air B&B marke.

So I would say there is a opportunity yo add value via the additional habitable space"

"A garage generally adds 5% to 10% to a home's value, with single garages typically adding around £10,000–£15,000 and double garages potentially increasing value by up to 20%. The value added depends heavily on location (urban areas with limited parking see higher gains), size, and whether it can be used for extra storage or converted into living"

"Sadly from past experience, not as much as you would think. It will help sell the house having theextra living space but the cost the conversation more than likely won’t return the cost of the conversation"
