Are you planning a house extension in Clapham? If so, then you’ve come to the right place!
In this article, we’ll be taking a closer look at a few things you should consider when building a house extension as well as some of the common pitfalls to avoid. We’ll also be talking about how to factor the long-term value of your home into your decisions and how to ensure that your extension meets your needs.
With any home improvement, but particularly a house extension, you need to start by thinking about what you’re hoping to get out of it. What does your house need? An office? A guest room? A dining area? Or perhaps you’ve always dreamed of having that beautiful library full of leather-bound books and a cosy fire?
Whatever your needs might be, it’s important to decide early on. It’s all well and good to say you’d like a bigger house but knowing exactly what you’re looking to build, from the start, will help get the project moving in the right direction.
Before you can begin building your house extension, you’ll need to get planning permission. This will mean contacting your local planning authority and submitting an application.House Extension
As well as standard details such as proof of ownership and a site layout, your local planning authority may also request other documents depending on the exact nature of your extension. For Clapham house extensions, you’ll want to contact Lambeth local council.
Last but certainly not least, you should always be thinking about the long-term value of your house. You might want to use that space for an extra bathroom but would another bedroom make a significant difference to the value of your house?
Even if you don’t plan on selling your house any time soon, you never know how you’ll feel ten or even twenty years from now. Remember that every home improvement you make is, ultimately, an investment and you want to ensure that you’re getting the very best value for your money.
