Will a house extension add value to my property? It can be difficult to exactly say how much a house extension will add to your property due to various factors such as, type of extension that you are thinking of building, the type of property that you have and the actual location of your current property. 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. A good idea is to ask your local estate agent about the latest prices in your area and tell them about your intentions of extending your house, and they will have a good idea of what your house's estimated value will be after you have completed the extension work Will I Need Planning Permission For My House Extension? This will not always be the case nowadays. It’s most often possible to carry out a single storey property rear extension, side return or wrap around type to an existing property, or indeed a porch to the front elevation without the need for planning permission as it could come under the governments permitted developments. Building rules have certainly been relaxed in recent years and the majority of single storey extensions that we have carried out of late have not required any of the usual planning permissions. However if you are thinking of a two storey extension they will definitely require planning permission beforehand. Any of the above issues can be discussed with us and resolved during our first initial FREE consultation and survey. Here we can offer our professional guidance on the correct procedures for your particular project. The UK Governments planning portal has some very helpful information, you can go to our helpful building regulations page to find their guides. What is planning permission? This is a simple procedure of requesting permission from the governing bodies to see if your proposed building work that you would like to complete is legally bound to go-ahead in the space that you would like to build it. This means that the first step you should always take before any building work commences is to gain the planning permission needed from your local authorities, this could be your local council or planning department. Always take into account if you are changing the external looks of a building, if this is the case then it's always best to seek the appropriate permission beforehand. You will always require permission for a new-build, adding an extension to your existing structure or change the usage of the building. Permitted Developments Some building projects will come into the permitted development category. This will mean that they don't need to go through the usual special planning approval application process. We will always advise a customer during our FREE consultation and survey on which direction to go. If we think you need to check with your local authorities then we can help you through the process. Permitted developments were set-up to allow people that own their own homes to fast-track house renovations, extensions and home improvements, and to streamline the procedure. This is fine as long as the householder adheres to some specific set-out guidelines. Some of these guidelines will be void if they apply to properties that are situated in world heritage sites, conservation areas, protected places, maisonettes, flats, and areas of national beauty, so please check first. Building projects that are covered by the permitted developments. See what you can build with these new permitted rights. You still have to consider further conditions during the design process. Nottingham builders are fully aware, experienced and knowledgable to offer any advice on all aspects to help you through building planning and control matters. Rear House Extensions
Side Extensions
Wraparound extensions When constructing a side and a rear extension that will form a ‘wraparound extension, then permitted development restrictions will be taken into account against the criteria for both of the extensions individually, this will it make it most unlikely that the project will fall under your permitted development rights. For example, side extensions are only a permitted development where they are built less than half the width of your original property, but the combination of them both will likely exceed half of the width of the original measurement. You can contact us to find out whether your intended wraparound project does fall within the permitted development rights. You can phone us to discuss your planning options with our panel of experts, you can book a free consultation by filling out our contact form and we will be in touch within 24 hours. Building Regulations Even if you are fortunate for your new house extension to come under the permitted developments, you still must get the approval of building regulations. Before any building work can be carried out that requires the building regulation approval, then a building control body must be appointed from your local authority. For projects such as house extensions, garage and loft conversions, then usually a building notice will suffice. This can allow for work to start on your project in around 48 hours If you contact your local authority. During our FREE consultation, we will guide you in the right direction if anything is not clear, and help you complete any necessary paperwork or forms beforehand. Lawful Development Certificate If you think that your intended building proposals come under the 'permitted development' and you would like to acquire written confirmation to guarantee that planning permission is not indeed needed, you can always apply for a Lawful Development Certificate. Acquiring this Lawful Development Certificate before any work commences can be very useful for the future when a residential property is sold. This is because it is recorded and disclosed on the Local Land Charges search, and is a good record to have to show potential buyers that the building work you had done is covered by this certificate and didn't need any planning permission beforehand.
