Move Or Improve?

Should you move or improve your current property?

It used to be a no-brainer.

A growing family? Need room for a home business?

What do you do?

You move. Simples.

Once your house becomes too small for your family or activities, simply sell it and buy a bigger property.

Like I said. It used to be a no-brainer.

Not any more.

Moving home is now a very expensive business. According to industry experts, taking into account legal fees, surveys, estate agents commission, removals, stamp duty and the 1001 other expenses you have – the cost of moving home can be around £15 - £20,000.

Add to those expenses the substantially higher cost of trading up from, for example, a three-bedroom to a four-bedroom house (around £30,000) it is easier to see why many home-owners are now deciding to stay put and extend their current property.

And the best way to do that is to convert your loft.

Loft conversions are the best way to make use of what used to be wasted space in your home – and it can add considerably to the value of your property.

By building a loft conversion not only can a home-owner increase the living space in his property but he can also add up to 20% to the value of that property.

Obviously there are other home extensions that can be built; a conservatory, a kitchen extension or even a garage conversion. But it is loft conversions that have consistently proved to be not only popular with homeowners but, just as importantly, with home buyers as well.

A loft conversion literally adds a new dimension to the property and the versatility of adding a room to the previously wasted roof space shouldn’t be underestimated.

That place previously only used for storing long forgotten clutter can be turned into a luxurious bedroom or comfortably living space. You can even shove the kids out of sight into their own specially designed loft playroom.

The possibilities are endless which is why the question ‘should we move or improve’? No longer has to result in a trip to the estate agents.
