Why Get An House ExtensionHave been thinking of a house extension?
Maybe the latest pandemic has made you evaluate your existing home and you have asked yourself, how can i extend and improve my own home without moving. You don't need to disregard your comfy home merely because of its small size. Today, small house extensions are one of the most excellent ways of adding value to your space under a low budget, and they are becoming very popular option as opposed to moving residence. Having modest but perfectly designed additions to your house can be transformative. Such additions leave significant impacts to your room, bringing in good extra daylight, which links existing room spaces and improves the general air circulation. If you’re looking to create more space within your home but don't fancy the idea of relocating to another area, as you feel settled in your existing home and where it's situated, then building a house extension might be just what you're after. It all depends on your current property, the space that you have available, and your budget. House extensions offer a great long term solution to homeowners that are maybe getting short on room in their current home and are not looking forward to the prospect of relocation. We say, why move when you can actually improve! Your home probably holds the key to so much potential for upgrading that you may not be aware of, we can help you unlock that potential with a property conversion or house extension. The best part is, we offer a free consultation and free quotation, one of our house renovation and design specialists can guide you through the whole process, including any planning permission “if required” some building work comes under “permitted development” which we can discuss and advise you accordingly. You never know, once you have extended your house, it could be your forever home! Single Storey ExtensionA single-storey extension can significantly enhance the functionality and aesthetic appeal of your home. This type of extension is added to the ground level of a property, offering a versatile solution to create additional living space. Whether you need an extra bedroom, a home office, or an expanded kitchen area, a single-storey extension can be tailored to meet your specific needs. Moreover, it often requires less planning permissions compared to multi-storey extensions, thus simplifying the construction process. However, it's paramount to consider factors such as natural light sources, integration with existing layout, and adherence to local building regulations to ensure a successful extension project.
3 Meter House ExtensionA 3-meter house extension is a popular choice among homeowners, offering the perfect balance between added space and cost. This expansion can dramatically transform a narrow kitchen into a spacious, open-plan living area, or provide the necessary space for a comfortable home office. Despite its compact size, a 3-meter extension is flexible enough to accommodate a variety of designs and layouts, making it an excellent solution for homes of all sizes. However, it's crucial to obtain a Certificate of Lawfulness from your local council before proceeding with the construction, ensuring the extension aligns with the permitted development rights. Remember, careful planning and design consideration are key to achieving an extension that not only complements your existing home architecture but also brings your envisioned living space to life.
Front House ExtensionA front house extension can dramatically transform the facade of your property while also providing extra indoor space. This type of extension is perfect for creating a new living area or expanding an existing room, such as a lounge or kitchen. It also gives homeowners an opportunity to improve the entrance of their home, enhancing curb appeal and potentially increasing property value. However, given its visibility, a front house extension requires careful planning and design to ensure it complements the existing architectural style. It's also crucial to remember that front house extensions may be subject to stricter planning permissions due to their impact on the streetscape, so consulting with a professional architect or planner is advised.
Loft ExtensionA loft extension is a popular home improvement project that effectively utilizes the often neglected attic space, transforming it into a functional area. It can serve a multitude of purposes, from a tranquil home office or library to an extra bedroom with an ensuite bathroom. Not only does a loft extension provide additional living space without expanding the footprint of your property, but it can also significantly boost the value of your home. The process generally involves strengthening the floor, adding in windows, and installing a suitable access staircase. It's important to note though, that while loft extensions are generally considered permissible development, it's crucial to obtain necessary permissions especially in conservation areas or listed buildings. Our professionals at Nottingham Builders should be consulted to ensure that the structural integrity of the building is maintained and that all regulations are adhered to.

However a guideline would show that the average three-bedroom UK house with a new extension that adds an extra double bedroom together with an en-suite could add around 15 to 25 per cent on to the value of your property. Any extra rooms would further increase the value on top of that. These figures are obviously averages and will depend entirely on your properties location.
