Adding living space with a home extension often requires significant investment, leaving homeowners asking:
How much will a home extension cost in 2023? While a small 15-25m2 extension can be built for £25,000-£35,000, larger extensions get more expensive. Key questions include -
How much does a 25m2 extension cost (around £30k if single storey), and What is the maximum house extension without planning permission (typically 4-6m for terraced houses if meeting building regulations)?
Homeowners should also research rules on total allowable increased footprint. While a 4m rear or side extension on a semi-detached house meets typical allowances, adding extra bedrooms could breach the maximum 40-50% increase permitted.
Carefully planning home extensions within permitted development rights simplifies approvals. Getting quotes from architects and builders early also allows homeowners to budget realistically. With careful design and expert project management, home extensions can add worthwhile living space without spiralling beyond original budgets.
The top line summary is that Nick and his team did a fantastic job. The GF of our 3B semi with existing extension was all open plan. Works incl. Creating a separate lounge, open plan kitchen/diner, removing structural walls, new flat roof, new patio, external drainage and timber sleeper retaining wall. New plumbing and electrical installations. Nick's quote was a fair price for the works, he kept within the budget and completed the works within the timeframes initially outlined. This is not the first time Nick has done work for us, and it won't be the last. Very pleased with the overall result.
