House with a swimming pool
Buying a house with a swimming pool
A poolside breakfast and a swim at the end of the day. Whether indoor or outdoor, a swimming pool adds value to any house.
Whether an infinity pool, in-ground or above ground, gently sloping or with a diving pit: there’s a pool for everyone. But there’s more to buying a house with a pool than may be immediately obvious. And although acquiring a pool is very different from installing one, there are a number of issues to be considered. One thing is certain though: a pool adds significant value to the property as a whole, but by increasing the land registry rental value of the property, it significantly increases the property tax on developed land (or rental tax).
