One way to do this is to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">build an extension<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\"> to your home. Larger homes are generally more popular and it can be a great way to add value to your property.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Many homeowners agree that the rising costs of houses make it easier to rather spend money on your existing home and improve it, than selling it to find a better property. That\u2019s why you can consider doing an upgrade in terms of an extension.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Popular extensions that homeowners often choose include bathrooms, kitchens, and loft conversions. No wonder the number of planning applications has risen by 25 percent during the last five years. But always keep your budget<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">in mind as you need to do a renovation that you can afford. Get accurate estimates from builders first, before you decide to go ahead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">If you want to build a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">home extension<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">, keep the following in mind:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Call in a professional to get the job done properly<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">. Ask friends for recommendations or visit <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hamuch.com\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">HaMuch<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\"> to find a local expert close to you.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure that the extension you choose will suit the style of the house<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">. Modern extensions are always desirable but if it\u2019s a very old house, it may not look as appealing and may influence your property value when it comes to selling. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Always be realistic<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">. Extra bathrooms and kitchens are often very good choices for family homes and a garage can also add value.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lofts are always a good idea<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">. They add value to a home and allow you to maximise the space you have available, for the whole family to enjoy.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">If you are ready to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">build an extension<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\"> to your home, start by getting a valuation from an expert to assess what you can do to your home, what space is available, what type of extension you can do, and whether you need additional planning permission.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Visit <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hamuch.com\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">HaMuch<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\"> to find a building expert in your area to help you <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">build an extension<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\"> to your home and add value and functionality to your property. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a home owner you are always looking for ways to improve your property and increase the value of your home.
