Don’t move, Improve!

Due to the financial market some homeowners have been unable to sell their homes. If you had hoped to sell because you need more room, there may be another solution.

Extensions, loft and garage conversions are an obvious way of adding more living space to your home.

Alternatively look at using your existing floor space more productively. The basic layout of a house rarely changes, yet the way we live in and use our homes has changed.

A house constructed in the 60’s rarely meets the needs of a modern family without some reorganisation.

By changing the way rooms are accessed, moving thoroughfares and even windows, furniture can be redistributed and new areas of light and space become accessible.

Dividing large bedrooms may be the answer to siblings currently having to share. If making these changes to your home is something you would like to consider, ensure you turn to a reputable local builder like EK Build to discuss your ideas. It could be that you require planning permission or building regulations; EK Build will be able to offer advice on this.
