Home investment is often beset with caution, hope and shall I say, a bit of chivalry. We have to be cautious regarding attainment of council approvals, hope that the extension adds value to our house and be chivalrous in making certain innovative plans. The question is: how do we manage to cut the cake right?
Worries of home extension
The biggest concern, when you seek a home extension, is whether your grand plans are feasible and whether their incumbent value is going to be greater than what you invest in it. Suppose you invest in a ground cover (moss) that is not adaptable to the weather conditions (dry places are an obstacle). The investment may just go down the drain, so dread the chance of over-capitalization.
Council approvals necessary
You also have to be wary of the council approvals in many cases. Maybe, they don’t allow a third floor in your area of living. Your choice of ground cover may be a strict no-no in your neighbourhood. Your swimming pool may not be meeting the existing standards. You may be over-stretching the land that belongs to you.
Actually, most of the approvals are taken care of by the building contractor. He is aware of laws and by-laws and is connected with a subjective lawyer. You should ensure that any discrepancy is covered in the contract and you are not made to pay more than you are liable for.
Relating to logic
Having mentioned the areas of precaution, it needs to be told that house extension is far more affordable, logical and convenient than buying a new home. You don’t have to deal with due diligence related with home shopping. Home construction also runs through a number of delays. The system involves minimum hocus-pocus.
Planning new extensions
Since you have got the infrastructure at your beck and call, you understand the nuances that your house calls for. You have been living in your house for long and know how airy, spacious it is as also the areas where your house is deficient. You have a better picture of the renovations you require.
Types of house extensions
From bathroom furnishing to kitchen remodelling, from pool makeover to patio construction, you can make plans according to the space you have. Of course, you must have been yearning for a little this, a little that at home. You can capitalize on those wishes without any ho-hum, something not generally possible with new home purchase.
Thus, get well-read about the expenses that home extension ideas will incur. You have a better chance to remain within budget with such extensions. Of course, if you have the dough and really fancy a new house, you can always go buy a new pad.
