Will a house extension add value to my home?
Your home should mirror your lifestyle changes over time. In many cases, these changes take the form of house extensions to add more space and value to your home in South East London. Read on to discover tips and inspiration for your new home extension.
What to consider when extending your home
The house extension process reaps many rewards, including expanding your living space and increasing your home’s value. But before you start planning out your house extension design, it’s important to consider the following:
Current layout
Do you have room on your property for an extension? If so, what will be the best place to extend? This could be a bedroom, kitchen, living room, or even garage extension. If you’re short on square metres, you might want to consider building vertically.
Budget
House extensions vary in price, depending on the size and scope of your project. It’s important to outline a budget first, and then explore the design options to compliment your home and your wallet. Cost-effective extensions are possible with the right amount of planning in place!
Design
Think about the design and style that would best complement the rest of your home. There are also opportunities to blend contemporary and traditional design in a tasteful manner.

Tips for a cost-effective home extension renovation
With proper planning and budget allocation, it is possible to extend your home without breaking the bank! Discover our cost saving tips:
Start with a defined budget
Your Renovation Consultant will ask for your budget parameters from the outset. This way, they can help you best allocate your funds towards meaningful, long-lasting changes.
Consider materials
The materials you choose have a massive effect on your project’s bottom line. Today, there are many budget-friendly options to replace what would be an expensive material. Some examples of affordable materials include reclaimed timber, stone cladding, fresh concrete, and industrial steel.
Consider your build site
Groundwork is a hidden yet substantial cost for your project. Choose to extend in an area that’s free from underground plumbing or electrical wiring.
On top of this, your Renovation Consultant will be able to inform you of other ways to save on your home additions and other places in South East London.
