House Extension
With the property market subdued and limited access to mortgage finance, many home owners are looking to extensions as a feasible way of adding extra space without the hassle of moving. Households must ensure they get planning permission for extensions and that their architect’s design meets building regulations. They must also conduct a party wall survey to assess the impact of any work on neighbours’ homes.
Once all this is complete, getting the right builder for the job is ‘key’ to the project’s success.
Property owners should also ensure that builders are fully insured and that their own buildings policy will cover any accidental damage to either their own property or surrounding residences. On average an extension will typically cost between £40,000 and £60,000 to complete, although loft extensions can be carried out for around £30,000. Adding an extra bathroom and bedroom in a loft can increase a property’s value by up to 20%.
