Benefit from a Home Extension
With house prices rising rapidly year after year it is becoming more common for home owners to extend their house rather than move, this way they are able to gain the extra space they need without the upheaval and cost of moving.
Here’s just a few of the benefits a home extension can offer and how they can improve your quality of life.
More Light & Value
A home extension can add more natural light to your home. This is an especially important consideration if you have a home that currently feels dark and cramped. By adding a home extension, you can increase the amount of light entering your home and make it feel more spacious. This can be a real game changer for people who feel like they’re living in a dungeon! Not only will your home feel more spacious, but you’ll also save on energy costs, as you’ll be able to rely on natural light rather than expensive artificial light sources.
A great way to add value to your home is by undertaking a home extension. This type of renovation project can add space and light, both of which are highly coveted by homeowners. In fact, a recent study found that home extensions return an average of 88% of your investment, making them a smart way to increase the value of your property. So if you’re considering a home extension, be sure to go with a reputable and experienced contractor who can help you achieve the results you’re after. You’ll be glad you did!
Improve Energy Efficiency and Physical/Mental Health
One of the main benefits of a home extension is that it can make your home more energy efficient. A well- designed and well-built extension can keep your home well insulated and keep the heat in during the winter months, and vice versa during the summer. This can save you a lot of money on your energy bills, and is a great way to help the environment too.
One of the best reasons to extend your home is for the improved health and wellbeing it can offer. Studies have shown that living in a spacious, well-lit home can boost your physical health and mental wellbeing. A home extension will create more space in your home, which can help to reduce stress and promote a sense of calm. It will also allow more natural light into your home, which is known to improve moods and emotions. In terms of value, a home extension is likely to increase the resale value of your home by up to 20%. So not only will you be enjoying improved health and wellbeing, you’ll also be increasing the value of your property.
If you’re considering a home extension, these are just some of the benefits you can look forward to. By expanding your home, you’re not only increasing your living space, but also your natural light and the value of your property. And with energy efficiency becoming more and more important, an extension can help you save money on your monthly energy bills. So why wait? Contact a qualified contractor today to discuss the possibilities for your home extension.
Do I need planning permission for a home extension?
Not all extensions require planning permission, as some fall under permitted development rights. However, this depends on the size, location, and design of your extension. We can advise you and, if needed, handle the planning application process on your behalf.
How much does a home extension cost?
The cost varies depending on the size, specification, and complexity of the build – We provide a detailed transparent quote based on your exact needs and home.
How long does it take to build an extension?
Most home extensions take between 8 and 16 weeks to complete once construction begins. This can vary depending on the size of the project, weather conditions, and any unforeseen structural issues.
Will I need building regulations approval?
Yes, all extensions must comply with building regulations to ensure they are safe and energy efficient. We take care of all necessary approvals and inspections as part of our service.
