3 Things That Must Be Thought About When Extending Your House
The bigger your family becomes, and the more belongings that you accumulate over time, the more your home almost seems to shrink in size.
Eventually, it can get to a point where you really have to do something about it, and that could see you extend the property.
Extending will bring an end to all your space-related issues, and make home living so much more enjoyable than when it felt far too cramped for everyone.
Crystal Clear is very experienced when it comes to extending Scottish family homes, so who better to take charge of your extension project, and advise you on it!
We would urge you to consider the following points, prior to pushing on with your extension plans:
Are you going to need planning permission?
We know for certain that you won’t if the extension satisfies the criteria to be classed as a Permitted Development.
For confirmation of whether Permitted Development Rights apply to the extension, get in touch with your local authority, who will provide the relevant confirmation.
Some extensions can also be subject to building regulations approval. Your local building control officer is the person to speak to about that.
What’s your budget for an extension?
Like when making any big investment, you should check your finances first to work out how much you can afford to pay.
Do it together as a family, if it makes it easier, and once you come to a figure, just let our team know.
Awareness of your budget will help us to develop and show you some design concepts that you can get with the money you have available.
Is it going to add value to your house?
It will, of course, add space, but are you certain that an extension is going to make your home more valuable, and also, more sellable in the future?
It’s highly likely that it will, but by how much will depend on things like how well it’s designed and how well it is built, as well as its size, your location, and several other factors.
From past experience, we’ll be able to give a decent estimate of what you can expect to get out of the investment, financially.
Once you’ve asked yourself those questions, and answered them, you will be ready to get an extension from Crystal Clear. Visit our Extensions page for more info.
