Frequently Asked Questions:

1. Do we need planning permission? 

In case you’ve been wondering, yes, it’s possible to build a house extension without planning permission — and it’s all thanks to permitted development. Nevertheless, there are rules and criteria that the extension must meet to qualify for permitted development.

2. What is the cheapest way to build an extension?

Choose a simple design and keep the design of your extension simple. Stick to square and rectangular shape layouts. Avoid odd shapes if you want to cut costs. Curves and L-shapes are expensive to build.

3. What is the most expensive part of a house extension?

Typically, the most expensive part of a house extension is the foundation work and structural alterations required to support the new space.

4. Is it Better To Extend?

Generally, extending your home will be a cost-effective investment that will pay back on itself when you eventually sell.

HOME RENOVATIONS!

If an extension is not needed modern reworkings of existing houses can usually have a positive effect on the property’s future resale value. Renovating so that the home functions better for the residents is a good idea, as long as the upgrades don’t hurt the home’s value or decrease usable space.

How much should you spend on house renovations?

Generally speaking, when setting your home renovation budget, it’s a good idea to avoid overspending on aspects that may not add much value to your home. One rule of thumb you can use for your home renovation budget is to spend no more than 20% of your home’s value on renovations.
