Here are a few things you will need to take into consideration:
• If you are planning an extension you will need to get expert planning advice, as these change quite regularly, and will need to be followed.
• Make sure you check out your builder’s credentials, there are various websites such as www.ratedbuilders.com and Which also supply a list of good builders. Recommendations from friends and family can be useful too. The National Federation of Builders (NFB) will be able to give you a list of registered builders in your area.
• Remember do not only consider price, and try to get at least three quotations.
• Knowing what to add is also an important consideration, additional bathrooms are very desirable, a larger kitchen and in some urban areas a garage can add real value. The best thing to do would be to ask a couple of estate agents their advice before developing your property.
• Loft conversions are also a very popular way of extending your home, but these will probably also need planning permission.
