With the cost of properties continuing to hit new records, you may be thinking that now is not the best time to move.
More and more people are now opting to stay put and improve/extend their home because they simply cannot afford to move.
If you are considering a house extension, here are a few things you may want to consider before going ahead.
1. Why do you want an extension?
Reasons you may choose to extend your home could include:
- Additional living space
- Additional storage space
- Additional work space
Once you have decided on the function of your extension, you can begin to plan what size and design would be most suitable.
2. What part of your house do you want to extend?
Once you have decided that a house extension is what you would like, you must then think about the type of extension you need. You can choose to have a single or multiple storey extension, kitchen/living room extension, bathroom extension, or something else. Many of our customers opt to have a single storey extension as a cost effective way to add more living space to their home.
