With moving into a new property becoming very costly, many current homeowners who were looking to move into a bigger house are now considering applying for house extensions instead. Of course the cost will be astronomical, but it will also add a lot of value to your property whilst also saving you the hassle of selling and moving.
First thing you need to consider after costs are your neighbours. When it comes to getting planning permission, your neighbours are able to air their thoughts, so we recommend you keep them in the loop and ask their opinions beforehand.
You also need to get in contact with an architect before you start the planning permission process. They will be able to offer you advice, whilst also sketching out the specification which you require.
