Dakkapellen algemeen

Dakkapel en woningwaarde

In most cases, a dormer increases the use value of a home. Market value is determined by more factors, but the contribution of a well-executed dormer is recognizable in the housing market.

Structural contribution

The dormer adds measurably usable floor space, increases daylight penetration, and accommodates an extra sleeping, working, or studying space. For families who would otherwise have to move to realize an extra bedroom, this is an important function.

Aesthetic and legal preconditions

The contribution to property value is strongly related to appearance and legality. A dormer that conflicts with the aesthetic review (welstand) memorandum or does not fit within the original architecture might actually be perceived as a drawback. Missing planning permission can also be a point of concern when selling.
