Summer in the city – Roof terraces in a post-Covid world
/Simply Loft, the leading provider of loft conversions in London and the West Midlands, have recently completed two neighbouring loft conversions, which have provided each of their clients with a stunning roof terrace that is perfect for summer. A roof terrace is becoming a popular option for many homeowners seeking to renovate their homes, with roof terraces being titled a saviour in the recent lockdowns. They typically add 12% - 20% of your property value to your home, making them a worthwhile investment! However, their true value has recently been made more pertinent, with the recent pandemic sweeping through the country in 2020.
In this new post-covid world, many people are recognising the importance of our mental health and its connection to being outdoors. Lots of people struggled spending months and months inside their homes, with limited opportunities to enjoy nature or take a breath in the outside air. For these two neighbouring clients in South London, they were blissfully unaware of these troubles, being able to spend as much time as they liked in the comfort and safety of their own roof terrace. With stunning views across the city, who could blame them for being in their own little peaceful world?
After a year of being locked away indoors, many families are wanting to enjoy the summer months with their families and loved ones. However, we are all much more cautious of the risks of being in large groups of people, and it can now seem overwhelming to resume our lives to the scale of what they were pre-covid. A roof terrace has given these families the option to ease themselves back into their social lives, being able to take time to themselves on their roof terrace and meet friends in small numbers at their homes, instead of crowded bars or restaurants. The freedom their roof terraces have allowed them is invaluable, with many of their friends and family reaping the benefits too. Amy, a Simply Loft client is thrilled with their loft conversion and roof terrace project, saying:
“The roof terrace has been a life saver during the pandemic. We do have a little back garden which is overlooked but our new roof terrace gives us the privacy we want and it's amazing for sundowners. We've sat up there for dinners, used it for HIIT workouts and even had sunlounges out catching a tan during the warmer months of 2020. It's a dream.”

It is clear that roof terraces are only going to increase in popularity over the upcoming years, as London homeowners look for ways to find their own peaceful spaces in hubbub of the city. Summer in the city never looked, or felt, so relaxed, safe, and personal!
