Homeowners often face the challenging question ‘should they stay or should they go’? They love and have had so much experience in their home, they are growing so they might need more space. Should they stay and expand their home or pack up and leave and start anew?
Perhaps you need more space due to an expansion in the family, children needing more room, extended family coming to stay over so perhaps that single bathroom isn’t cutting it like it used to? With what we have just experienced (the pandemic) people having to work from home full time, maybe you need the extra room? Or if you are like me with tiny children and find yourself tripping over toys all around the house and just need somewhere to put them all away?
INCREASE THE WORTH OF YOUR PROPERTY BY ADDING EXTENSIONS:
Various home improvements/additions made to a property could increase the potential of your property in various ways. For instance, by transforming your loft can be an extra room with an ensuite which could add up to 20% increase to your. Nonetheless, if it was just a bedroom without an ensuite it will add 10% to the worth of your property. You do the maths.
Right now having another bathroom in a property is a standard expectation, not only will this make life and daily schedules a lot easier for members of the household, it will also increase the worth of your property by 5%. Again do the maths. Having a conservatory is said to be a fast way to get more space in your property, this will also add about 10% to the worth of your property. Do the maths.
WHAT TURNS A HOUSE INTO A HOME?
When buying or renting a house, one thing to consider is ‘who are/will my neighbours be’? As you may or may not know that your home is not just where you sleep and eat, the surrounding areas and your neighbours also have the potential to turn your house into a home.
As it is already a challenge to acquire good friends and even better neighbours, if your children are already well placed in their schools and have good friends and are doing great, why risk it and uproot them? Bear in mind that it is impossible to know what potential neighbours and local areas can be like until you have made the move and by then it might be too late, so to avoid this and avoid losing great friendships you have built and your good neighbours, consider making expansions in your home to get the extra space you might need.
TO STAY OR NOT TO GO STAY?
Before making that important decision about staying or going, think about it thoroughly – add up the pros and cons, compare the cost of moving to a new property (solicitors fees, estate agents fees, removal costs, surveyors fees etc) with the cost of making a few changes to your existing property. Is it worth it?
