Even if you have thought about a home extension to your property, not every house is suitable for an extension at present. There are 5 key signals to check to see if your house is ready for an extension.
Your Structure Is Sound
Cracks in the structure such as diagonal cracks in walls and foundations particularly around windows and doors need to be checked. Any subsidence will need to be rectified before any new build can commence.
Your Plot Has the Space
Finally, ensure that the usable outdoor area of your garden is sufficient for the proposed extension footprint. Allow for suitable access and for adequate drainage within the garden. A single-storey rear extension of a Home in Home Extensions Charlton Kings is typically best suited for rear gardens of semi-detached homes.
Your Layout Has Clearly Outgrown You
Eating in the corridor and storing things in the bath. This is a signal that you’re working around a lack of space and your extension will be used.
Planning Approval Looks Realistic
Find out what your neighbours have done with the space on the sides and back of their homes. Then review the permitted development rights for householders to see the size and positioning restrictions for household extensions that could be built without making a full planning application.
Your Finances Are Stable
Typical costs for a home extension in the region start at around £30,000-£50,000 or so.
