Frequently Asked Questions
Extensions FAQ
What are the basic rules for extending a property?
Extensions and other structures, including previous additions, must not occupy more than 50% of the total land area surrounding the original house. When calculating this 50% limit, all sheds and outbuildings must be considered. Additionally, the maximum height of the eaves and ridge of the extension must not surpass that of the existing house.
How large can an extension be before planning permission is required?
If you're considering building an extension or making changes to your home, it's important to check whether you need planning permission from your local authority. One of the primary reasons you may require this permission is if your extension exceeds 40 square metres, which includes both new constructions and any existing extensions.
Do You Require a Structural Engineer for Your Extension
If you're considering an extension for your home, you may be wondering whether the expertise of a structural engineer is necessary. A structural engineer can provide invaluable insights and ensure that your project meets all necessary safety and building regulations.
Does A House Extension Increase Your Property Value
A thoughtfully designed and expertly constructed house extension is one of the most valuable investments you can make in your property. House extensions often provide greater value than their construction costs, making them a wise financial choice compared to relocating to a bigger home.
Does Building an Extension Affect Home Insurance?
If you fail to inform your insurer about your extension project, you risk invalidating your home insurance policy, which could leave you unprotected during the construction. However, once you notify your provider, you may discover that your home remains insured as usual and that there are no changes to your existing policy.
What Is The Costliest Aspect Of Building An Extension
The most significant expense associated with a house extension typically arises from the foundation work and the necessary structural modifications to support the new area. The cost of labor will vary based on the intricacy of the project and the specialists required to carry it out.
