Fibre broadband can significantly increase the value of your home!

Full fibre broadband, which provides the fastest and most reliable connection available, can make a property stand out in the market and attract more potential buyers, with many increasingly prioritising properties with strong internet connectivity. 

Because let’s be honest: two similar houses, two similar prices, one with fibre broadband one without – which would you choose? Who doesn’t want fast connectivity and reliable network coverage? 

Good, superfast or ultrafast? 

What constitutes a ‘good’ broadband speed varies from buyer to buyer, depending on their needs. Some may find a basic connection enough for web browsing and emails, while others need significantly higher speeds when working from home or 4K streaming. 

A speed of around 10Mbps is probably okay for basic browsing, sending emails, and online shopping. This level of service is commonly found in homes with a traditional connection, which relies on traditional copper telephone lines. 

But today’s households increasingly demand faster speeds. Fibre broadband offers speeds from 100 to 250Mbps, providing a much more robust connection. This is enough for households with multiple users streaming, gaming, and working online at the same time. For families where one or more of them works remotely, these speeds are not simply attractive they are essential - ensuring a seamless experience for video calls and cloud-based applications. 

Anything above 250Mbps is ideal for large households with multiple heavy internet users. Whether it’s streaming high-definition videos, playing online games, or running a home-based business, ultrafast broadband ensures that internet speed is never a bottleneck.  

Access to this level of connectivity though is not universal, particularly in rural areas where fibre infrastructure is still being developed. This makes properties with full fibre broadband particularly valuable in these locations, as they provide an amenity that is often scarce. 

How full fibre increases property value 

A property with full fibre broadband is more attractive to tech-savvy buyers and professionals who rely on a stable connection for work.  

An independent review by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport, found that having full fibre broadband can add up to £3,500 to the value of a property, while some estate agents report it to be more around the £5,000 figure. 

And agents say that homes with faster broadband speeds tend to sell more quickly and at higher prices than those with slower connections. As remote working becomes more prevalent, the demand for homes with high-speed broadband is only expected to grow. 

Installing full fibre broadband is an investment that not only improves your current living experience but also enhances your home's marketability. Buyers are increasingly willing to pay a premium for homes that offer future-proof connectivity, making full fibre broadband a smart upgrade for homeowners looking to increase their property's value.
