What Are the Benefits of Extending Your Home?

Save on Stamp Duty

One of the good things about adding more space to your existing home is that you don’t have to pay stamp duty or agent fees, because you will not have any need to move house.  This should free up more budget to create a truly individual space that suits your family.

Financial Gain

Because house prices usually double every decade, it’s likely that a home extension will pay off in terms of financial returns if you want to live in your house for longer. You will also have a lot of years to enjoy the practical benefits of a home extension.

Home Extensions Solve Problems

In addition to the possible financial benefits, it is also worth knowing that home extensions will solve a lot of practical problems you are facing in your home such as ageing, leaky conservatory, clutter, small kitchen space, and so on.

Increase the Value of Your Property

Thanks to our home extension solutions, you will not only enjoy greater comfort and living space but also ask a higher price if you ever decide to sell off your home. It doesn’t matter if you have completed the construction of a new room or whether space has been increased by about a meter, the value of your home increases.

Single-Storey Extensions

A single-storey extension is a perfect way to create additional living space in your home while designing your living space to better suit your lifestyle. It is the perfect idea for a new, open-plan living which offers ideal family rooms and is loved by potential future buyers.

Many single-storey extensions fall under what is known as permitted developments, meaning that you may not need extensive paperwork.

Single-Storey Rear Extensions

Expanding the rear of your single-storey property is another popular way to create more living space and provide significant added value.
But for this to happen, you need to make sure you have the right people for the project from the beginning. Single-storey rear extensions are relatively easy, but a small mistake can quickly lead to stress, delay, and extra cost. Contact Clifton Hill and Montpelier Builders & Construction today for the perfect home extension.

Two-Storey/Multi-Storey Extensions

Two-storey or multi-storey extensions can be added to any part of an existing building, as can a single-storey extension.

These types of extensions are built to adjoin to an existing building and can offer significant extra space. However, building regulations approval is needed.

Kitchen Extensions

A kitchen extension is a perfect opportunity to improve your kitchen or the entire ground floor of the house by simply changing the layout, introducing natural light, and adding devices that can make your life easier. It is one of the most valuable home improvement projects anyone can make, resulting in significant added value to the property.

Garage Conversion

Converting a garage is one of the cheapest ways to increase living space and improve property value by up to 10%. Depending on the scope of work, planning permission may not be needed, but you will have to apply for building regulations approval before the work can commence.

Side Extensions

A side extension is a good way to take advantage of unused or underutilised garden space in your home. This creates a much larger, open space, ideal for kitchen, dining, and living space.

This type of extension is also a great opportunity to introduce more light into a terraced house, with large skylights, window panels, bi-fold or sliding doors that create a bright, modern home

Over-Structure Extension

The over-structure extension is usually carried out over a garage or existing single-storey extension. Unfortunately, it is not always easy to build directly on an existing structure, especially in a garage where load-bearing walls are weak, and therefore, cannot carry the weight of another floor.

The foundations of the existing building will also be examined to determine whether they are strong enough to support the extra weight.

At Clifton Hill and Montpelier Builders & Construction, we have the experience and resources to handle this kind of project, giving you a strong and durable finished product.

Side Return Extension

Side extensions are quite popular with Victorian terraced houses, where the original structure has a strip of land to the side of the house, forming an L-shaped garden. By extending sideways, you can reclaim unused space and transform it into a spacious room for virtually any purpose.

A side return extension is considered to be permitted development, which means it does not require a building permit as long as it meets certain criteria.

Ultra-Roof House Extensions

Ultra-roof house extensions combine the thermal properties of bricks with the best solutions of light roofs covered with tiles. Ultra-roof extensions offer a wonderful vaulted ceiling on the inside and authentic-looking lightweight tiles on the outside. Glazed panels can be inserted to provide breath-taking light effects.

Orangery

Orangeries are typically built with a perimeter roof, a suspended roof lantern or glass lantern, as well as a set of French-style doors or folding doors.

The orangery itself is a custom-made structure that can be designed to fit any property, even if space is limited. These structures can act as home extensions and can be created for a variety of purposes, including offering more space in kitchens and living rooms, or as a structure to connect two buildings.

Conservatory

A conservatory is by definition a non-habitable space because it is not sufficiently insulated for people to live in so it is usually connected to the main house via an interior door.

There are so many reasons why investing in a conservatory is a good home improvement decision. Not only does this extra structure provide more space for the family, but a conservatory, properly designed, can also be used for a variety of functions: game room, a study, children’s room, a guest room, or simply a place to hang out at the end of a long day.

If you are looking to extend your property with a conservatory, very few contractors in Brighton can deliver as well as Clifton Hill and Montpelier Builders & Construction.

Planning Approval

The type of home extension you choose determines if planning approval is required. Some extensions fall within the scope of acceptable development rights. For example, if the structure remains 2m or more from the boundary and is less than 3m high, permitted development will apply.

Can my Neighbour Build an Extension on the Boundary Line?
Generally, your neighbour only has the right to build a boundary line (connecting line) between two properties, but there are circumstances in which he may legally build on your land. You can give them permission to build a party wall and foundations on your land.
Do I Need Planning Permission for an Extension to the Side of my House?
Basically, you don’t need a building permit to build an extension at the back of the house that doesn’t increase the original area of ​​the house by more than 40 square meters and is not higher than the house. However, it is a good idea to seek the opinion of your local council to be on the safe side.
Do You Need Planning Permission to Turn a Garage Into a Room?
A building permit is usually not required to convert a garage into an extra living space for your home, provided that the work is internal and does not require an expansion of the building.
How Much Can I Extend my House Without Planning?
Permitted development rules have recently become more permissive so that an extension of up to 6 meters and 8 meters for detached houses can be built without planning permission.
What is an Orangery in England?

Can I Put a Kitchen in a Conservatory?

Will an Orangery Add Value to a House?
An orangery can add almost as much value to a property as a traditional extension.
How Do I Add an Open-Plan Extension?
The first step to adding an open-plan extension to your home is to talk to an architect about design options that match your home and align with your goals.
