Pros and Cons of Property Extensions

A house extension is to expand your home outwards, usually into the garden areas. Our building contractors will take down a wall and build outwards by some meters and seamlessly connect this new area to the rest of your Leamington Spa home.

Advantages of extensions include:

  • Significantly raising the market value of the property

  • Increasing the amount of functional and liveable space in the home

  • Enhancing existing interior spaces so they feel less cluttered

  • Increasing the capacity for natural light

  • Creating a space more readily connected to the garden area

Some disadvantages to consider:

  • Extensions take a longer timeframe to complete

  • The cost is higher than a conversion

  • An extension will work only with adequate space surrounding the property

  • Planning permission is required to conduct extensions, and this also takes time

Pros and Cons of Conversions

Why settle for a cramped, cluttered home? A conversion of any type allows you to clear out the clutter and make way for more liveable and functional space. Alternately, it could allow you to redesign areas to make room for smarter storage, freeing up space around the rest of your home. Like property refurbishments, conversions are also a great opportunity to have upgraded features installed, such as better cladding and insulation. Whatever you have in mind, we have listed the key pros and cons of loft conversions below.

Advantages of loft conversions:

  • More budget-friendly and usually costs less than an extension

  • A great way to optimise the space within your home if you cannot extend it

  • There is no need for planning permission or permits to carry out a conversion

  • It is much quicker to complete, so less disruption to your day-to-day living

  • An opportunity to upgrade property features, such as better insulation

The disadvantages to consider:

  • Less likely to increase the market value of the property compared to a house extension

  • There is a limit to the amount of additional space created, compared to an extension

  • Internal property alterations will mean the home will look the same from the outside as before; something to note if you want to refresh the home's exterior
