If you are in love with your home but simply do not have enough space then you may wish to add an extension on. This may be a new extension built up from the ground or you may decide to build upon a garage for example. If you do decide you want to build upon a garage then you will need to ensure that the foundations were dug deep enough to support this. If not, you may need to knock down the garage and start again from scratch.

An extension can totally transform a house. You can add another bedroom or increase your living room / kitchen if you are extending the ground floor. You may lose space outside, but this is often worth it to have additional living space. Not only can an extension improve your living situation it can also add value to your home should you come to sell it in the future.

Be sure to apply for and get all the correct planning permission prior to starting the project as if you build without this you could be asked to take it down which would be at your own cost too.
