We\u2019re frequently asked what are the benefits of a loft conversion or extension ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our founder, David Gage firmly believes that to get more from your investments, you need to invest in something that you love a lot \u2013 and as a nation of homeowners, the answer often lies in our property.<\/p>\n

Here are the 5 benefits of extending your home:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Add extra space to your home by improving rather than moving<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    With on-going uncertainty in the property market, it can make sense to stay put rather than face the upheaval, and expense, of moving. You may feel that you\u2019ve outgrown your current home but love the area, have friends close by or a children settled in school. That\u2019s when a conversion or extension maks perfect sense and, whether you need an additional bath to meet the needs of a growing family, an elegant yet practical office or just want a bit of space to yourself, we can help.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Potential to increase the value of your home<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Anecdotally we\u2019ve heard of people increasing their property\u2019s value by up to \u00a350,000 by converting a loft or adding an extension. In the case of a client from Clapham, the addition of two rooms and a bathroom saw the property value jump from \u00a380,000 to \u00a3150,000. The cost of the loft conversion was around \u00a340,000. These figures are only illustrative and you should check with an estate agent about the possible pay off.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Converting unused space or adding an extension is quicker than other renovations<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Our courteous, professional team of specialists, will work to complete your project quickly and with minimal disruption.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. In many cases, no planning permission is required<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          But if it is, we can handle it for you \u2013 just as we\u2019ll ensure the completed work meets all the relevant regulations.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Unexpected benefits<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Instead of renting an office if you run your own business, you could design an elegant and practical office in your loft. Alternatively, by setting up the loft stairs from outside, you could rent the living space to a tenant.<\/p>\n
