10 Reasons to Extend

Why go through all the heartache of moving house when you can unlock the real value of the home you already live in? Extending has become the new moving and here are the top 10 reasons why.

1: You’ve built a life where you live already. Why knock it down by moving when you can build an extension instead?

2: Your home is full of potential just waiting to be unlocked. An extension lets you make the best use of your property area.

3: You didn’t design the layout of your home – so change it to what you’ve always wanted by extending and rearranging.

4: New arrivals mean more bedrooms. Why move when you can simply add to what you already have?

5: Selling a house at the moment is difficult. Extend now to fit your lifestyle and your increased living space will be a real asset when the housing market opens up again.

6: Old fixtures, great home? Use an extension project not just to expand your space but to make it more energy efficient with modern heating solutions.

7: Indulge yourself. If you’ve always wanted a home cinema, a gym, a studio or a pool – take the plunge and add a finishing touch to your existing house.

8: It’s easy. New laws (see our blogs on Permitted Development) allow you to make extensions to your home without having to get planning permission.

9: It’s cost effective. You get the same increased space as you would with a move for a fraction of the price.

10: It lets you design exactly what you want. Moving house just means going into somewhere bigger that is almost, but not quite, what you are looking for. When you extend, you can make your space perfect.
