With a growing family, you will certainly
need more space. Many people think of selling their house and moving to a bigger
one. However, in this economically unsteady time a loft conversion or an
extension is the best solution.
Loft
conversions
For a house owner without much space for
outward extension, building upwards is much cheaper than moving to a new house.
A loft conversion not just adds space, but also enhances your property value.
Renovating your roof space may sound burdensome, but experts from Loft
Conversion Kent add dormer windows or skylights that surprisingly offer
beautiful view and natural light.
Extensions
Instead of moving upwards, some homeowners
having space head outwards. Extension allows you to construct upwards and
outwards - a single or a double storey structure. Alternatively, loft
renovation leaves you with limited size and volume. Unlike extensions majority
of roof space renovation requires no planning permission, but it has to comply
with current building regulation standards.
Benefits
and costs
Between loft conversion and extension, the
former one is the most economical option. According to loft conversion Kent,
experts a single skylight is cheaper rather than raising your roof or
installing several dormer windows for extra height.
It is up to you to determine, which option
suits your home or what is your requirement. If you need space for an elderly
or a physically disabled family member then a ground floor extension is the answer
to this.
In short, a loft conversion is cheaper, but
it may not suit your conditions – either your space is not suitable for loft
conversion or your requirement may be for more space at ground level. Consider
your options and then decide, which way to extend upwards or outwards.
