FAQs about Home Extensions
What Is The Cheapest Way To Extend A House?
The cheapest way to extend a house in the UK is typically by adding a single-storey extension, such as a conservatory or an orangery. These structures, made mainly of glass or polycarbonate, provide additional living space while being relatively affordable and quicker to construct compared to traditional brick extensions. To keep costs low, opt for a modular design and utilise cost-effective materials. Remember to check planning permissions and building regulations to ensure compliance.
How Much Does An Extension On A House Cost?
The cost of a house extension in the UK can vary significantly, depending on factors such as size, materials, and location. On average, you can expect to pay around £1,500 to £2,000 per square metre for a basic extension, and up to £3,000 per square metre for a higher-end finish.
Remember that additional expenses, such as planning permission and professional fees, may also apply. For an accurate estimate, contact Kingdon Carpentry & Construction to discuss your specific project requirements.
Do You Need Planning Permission To Build An Extension On Your House?
Yes, you typically need permission to build an extension on your house. This usually involves obtaining planning permission from your local council and complying with building regulations. However, some extensions fall under ‘permitted development rights’ and may not require planning permission.
It’s essential to check with your local authority for specific rules and requirements before starting any construction work. Kingdon Carpentry & Construction can also help any planning permission questions you may have.
Will An Extension Add Value To My Home?
An extension can add value to your home, but it depends on various factors, such as the size, quality, and purpose of the extension as well as the location and market conditions.
A typical well-designed and built extension could increase the cost of a property by as much as 15%.
