Why you should get an extension in 2022! February 15, 2022 Your home is a place where you spend the majority of your time with your family relaxing and unwinding. Because of this, you'll want to make your home is exactly how you would like for it to be. You always have the option of relocating into a new home if your current one starts to become something you don't want it to be. Moving homes, on the other hand, is not an option for everyone, which is why an extension is a perfect alternative. In this blog, we cover a few reasons why you should expand your home this year. So, here are a few reasons why you should extend your home Make the most of your outdoor space Extending onto a large garden, driveway, or space to the side of your house rarely takes the focus away from your outdoor space. It also offers major benefits to your indoor space. Adding a conservatory, for example, will give you additional eating space while also highlighting the garden. Similarly, a porch does not often take up a lot of room in the front of a house, but it can provide valuable storage and security. Add an extra living area Separate rooms are frequently required as a family grows. Toys scattered throughout the room that you use for relaxing, watching television, or doing work can get frustrating. Having a spare room where children can play or even watch television can be handy as you can still have a place you can use to relax or catch up on work. This also allows you to store their things all in one place rather than all over the house. Create an extra bedroom When your family starts growing, adding an extra bedroom could be more convenient than moving homes. Even if your children can share a room, it's occasionally preferable for them to have their own room, especially as they get older. Adding an extra room to your existing property is considered a cheaper alternative than moving homes, making it ideal if you are set on a certain budget. Create storage space Home extensions are sometimes necessary simply because people require more space. Consider a porch: suddenly, you have somewhere to put your shoes, coats, and other items where they belong. It also allows you to easily store items such as bicycles, musical equipment. Knowing that you have a designated place for certain items may make the rest of your home feel more spacious and often a lot more organised. There is a change in your lifestyle Recently, many people have started to work from home and having a desk in the living room or your bedroom might have a significant detrimental impact on your 'work-life balance.' Having an office space in your home where you can close the door at the end of the day and only come back during working hours allows your home to stay your home rather than becoming your new workplace. Adds value The basic goal of getting your home extended adds value. Whether it is adding value to your family in the form of an extra family room or an extra bedroom, value to your guests in the form of a guest bathroom, each reason has a value in mind. There is also the monetary value that comes along with it. If a home is then sold, having an extra bedroom can add roughly £20,000 to its value. Similarly, if you plan to sell your property in the future, having conservatories, utility rooms, and downstairs toilets are all very appealing to potential purchasers. Want to know more?
