The housing market in the UK continues to disappoint millions of home-owners each year. Those looking to move home simply can’t find a buyer whilst those wanting to purchase a new home, especially for the first time, are struggling to find suitable finance. It is becoming increasingly difficult for people to take that first step onto the property ladder. This is causing the housing market to stagnate and it is becoming a far more arduous task to move house. This is the reason why many people are choosing to stay in their current property but make improvements to it such as conservatories and extensions. If you are in the fortunate position to have enough space to build an extension, the benefits to you and your family could be great.
Extra living space
An extension to your current property can have a major impact on your day to day life. If you have a young family then as your children grow they require more and more individual space. It is fine for siblings to share a bedroom when they are younger but there comes a point when they will each want their own room. Instead of moving home and going through the pain-staking process of finding a new property and marketing and selling your own property, why not extend your current home to suit the needs of your expanding family. Sleeping arrangements are not the only aspect to consider. By building an extension you can also have another room in your property at ground level. This room can be utilised for any number of things. Many people choose to use the extra room as an office, a playroom for the children or an extra living room making arguments about what to watch on television a thing of the past.
Choose an expert and stay on budget!
There are a large number of builders in East Kilbride offering excellent advice and immediate assistance with regard to all your building questions and queries. It is important to choose a builder with a good reputation that has a professional attitude in all aspects of their work. It is important that both yourself and the builder knows exactly what your requirements are prior to beginning any work as this will ensure that all work is completed to the necessary standards and specifications. If you forget to mention to your builder at the start of the project something that you later remember it may be difficult for your builder to then incorporate it into the build. Finally, remember to stay on budget. It is easy for costs to soar as the work progresses. A good design allied with a good construction builder will ensure that you keep safely within your budget.
