Adding Value to Your Home with a Garage Extension in Windsor February 20, 2023 Trying to maximise the unused space in your garage? Would you like to design the ideal kitchen, workplace, home gym, or theatre? Converting a garage for that additional piece of living space is one of the most affordable methods to "expand" your house, especially if obtaining planning permission is not required. This might also help enhance the value of your home by up to 20%!] How converting your garage will add value to your property Studies have shown that approximately 45% of UK residents never park their cars in garages. It's interesting to note that over half of the respondents said they wouldn't buy a home without a garage. But if not for parking, for what purpose is this area truly being used? Despite the fact that a shed may be located at the bottom of the yard, 64% of respondents keep their gardening equipment in their garage. Why not construct the room you've always wanted by freeing up this essential space? At Substructure Developments Ltd, our builders have compiled all the ways that a garage conversion might increase the value of your home using their years of industry knowledge. More Cost Effective Than an Extension Depending on your particular needs, an addition might cost upwards of £17,000, which is significantly more than a garage conversion. Because the foundation and walls of your home have already been constructed, garage conversions are the logical choice when it comes to making alterations that are both affordable and beneficial. The time it takes to do a garage conversion will be far less than an extension because the framework is already in place and the majority of the work is done within. It's also important to keep in mind that many garage conversions don't need planning permission. Benefits of a Garage Conversion You won't have to give up your garden or any other outside area. When the garage is linked to your home, planning permission is not typically required, saving you the expense of about £200 and the headache of getting it granted. There won't be much disruption because the majority of the work is done inside the area. Because the facility is already constructed, there won't be much construction expense.
