As many more households become more and more reliant on great broadband, studies have shown an increase in house value for properties with fast internet speeds.
During the best part of 2020 and 2021, the UK was hit with a number of lockdowns that completely changed the online needs of so many people. From working from home to online food shopping, the demand for better broadband has increased.
With the new wave of home buyers and renters comes fast broadband towards the top of their checklist. If your broadband gives a challenging online experience, then it’s worth looking at an alternative option before deciding to sell or take on new tenants. It’s likely to boost your house value and renter value considerably.
One interesting thing to come out of the report was that broadband speed increases have actually increased the average house price in affected areas by up to £3,500.
Broadband is a type of internet connection which gives you access to the internet via a wired or wireless connection.
There are a vast variety of broadband types to choose from, however depending on where you live you may only have access to certain types of broadband. There are 4 different types of broadband that you could explore, FTTP, FTTC, ADSL and Cable broadband.

If you’re thinking of selling your home, it’s important to review what broadband speed your property can get. Access to fast broadband is now one of the key selling points that buyers look for. For some people, even having the home luxuries of a bath or garden have now been overtaken by fast broadband.
In previous years studies have shown the main reason people needed fast broadband speeds was predominantly around watching streaming services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime. Now that so many people work from home or have adopted hybrid working, the demand for better broadband at home has increased hugely.
Not only working from home but also smaller everyday activities such as doing a food shop or shopping for clothes and shoes is now predominantly done online.
