Moving house costs £10,000-£15,000 in fees alone. Extensions add the space you need while increasing property value by 15-25%, making them a smarter investment than relocating to a larger home.
Single-storey extensions are the most popular way to add ground floor space, costing £1,500-£2,500 per square metre. Typical kitchen extensions of 20-30 square metres cost £30,000-£75,000 and add £40,000-£80,000 to property value. Most projects complete within 8-12 weeks from planning approval to final handover. Permitted development rights often allow extensions without full planning permission, saving time and £500-£1,000 in application fees.
Double-storey extensions maximize space by building upwards, costing £1,800-£2,800 per square metre across both floors. Adding 50 square metres costs £90,000-£140,000 but increases property value by £120,000-£180,000, delivering excellent returns. Projects take 12-16 weeks to complete and typically require full planning permission unless under permitted development. Ideal for growing families needing extra bedrooms and living space without moving to new areas.
Loft conversions create additional bedrooms or home offices without extending your property’s footprint, costing £30,000-£60,000 typically. Converting unused loft space adds 15-20% to property value while avoiding garden loss that extensions cause. Most loft conversions qualify as permitted development, avoiding planning permission delays and costs entirely. Projects complete in 6-8 weeks and include insulation, electrics, plumbing, stairs, and Velux windows for natural light throughout.
Modern conservatories and garden rooms cost £15,000-£40,000, providing bright additional living space connected to your garden. Thermally efficient designs ensure year-round comfort unlike older conservatories that overheat in summer. Installation takes just 4-6 weeks with minimal disruption to your existing home and daily routines. These extensions typically qualify as permitted development, requiring no planning permission and adding £10,000-£25,000 to property value immediately.
