The Benefits of Extending Your Home

There are many reasons to invest in a home extension, whether you are starting a family or just need some extra space, there are lots of different ways in which you can acquire more space for your home. Making the decision to extend your home with an extra bedroom, loft conversion, living area or kitchen can be a tricky one to make but with the proper professional help, it can be the ideal solution. This is why you need to ensure that you have considered everything, from acquiring planning permission to setting your budget, before you make your final decision on the type of home extension that you want.

We will discuss a variety of options that you can choose from for gaining extra space for your property, looking at the benefits of each one.

Extending Your Home With a Conservatory

One of the most aesthetically pleasing ways to extend your home, a conservatory brings so many different opportunities when it comes to how it can be used. As well as acting as an extra living room or dining area, the additional sunlight is the ideal place to grow your favourite plants and herbs effectively without digging and maintaining your garden. They are an ideal environment to be in on a warm summer’s day and allow you space to enjoy some of your favourite leisure activities, such as reading, exercising and socialising in general.

Converting Your Loft

The majority of homeowners seem to forget that there is the perfect opportunity for more space in the attic and even an additional bedroom depending on the size. 

With the proper loft insulation and design from professionals, attic conversions can give your home the additional floor it needs to accommodate for your storage needs. A stylish bedroom or a secret living room, a loft conversion brings a unique answer to extending your home.

Garage Conversion

If you are lucky enough to have a garage then (like the loft) there might be more uses for this area than just a place to keep your car and storage space. Some of the most conventional garage conversions include an extra office, a gym and even a home cinema. Whatever your requirements are, a garage can be turned from a cold space to a properly insulated habitable room that is cost-effective and requires minimal hassle.

Moving Home

It’s a simple solution but one of best ways to extend your home is by upgrading to a new property. If an extension doesn’t seem worth it then maybe it’s a better idea to have a fresh start and move to a bigger property. It may seem like more hassle, but if the extra space is that important then you can benefit from a larger garden or upgrading to a home with more rooms.

The current property market means that there are plenty of bargains to be had on available homes and provides you with an option to relocate to a completely new area that suits your requirements.

So as you can see there are plenty of options when it comes to getting that extra space and all of them will increase the value of your property. We encourage homeowners to consider every single possibility and then make a well informed decision based on your situation.
