Great, so you have decided to extend your property, perhaps you are planning to make more space for your family as it grow. By adding rooms to your property it will give you more space to live and work in and increase the value of your property. Any addition to your home or property such as an extension has to in most cases be permitted by the local authorities before going ahead, however planning permission is not always required and is subject to certain conditions. There are specific guidelines that cover size limits of a new extension, determines how much of the surrounding land is to be built on, where the land is situated in terms of highways and neighbours – in fact, there are many restrictions so it is always worth speaking to the experts and authorities to ensure that your new extension comes under a ‘permitted development’.

There are also different rules for flats and maisonettes, compared to those specifically for houses, and all of the details can be accessed through your local planning office.

Extensions will be subject to building regulations, or most extensions, so again some properties can be exempt from such regulations.

If you are making changes that alter the structure, and you are doing this to add value, it’s worth finding out its current market value, and contacting an expert regarding what you are planning in terms of the additional space and the quality of finish. If you will not reap the financial rewards and this is why you plan to extend, you may change your mind. However, if you are simply extending to make your home look more appealing and allow a more useful space, financial gains or adding value may not be of interest to you.
