Have you been struggling to sell your property, but desperately seeking more floor space for the children? If so then do not panic; the perfect answer is right in front of you just think up and out.
Extending your property can drastically improve your property there are so many options. If you have space at the side of your property then you can extend on the side as a single or even double storey extension to create extra downstairs living as well as those much needed extra bedrooms.
If you don’t have the space at the side of the property then a loft conversion can give you that extra bedroom and adding either a conservatory or an extension on the back can give you that extra space. Extending your house will not only give you all the extra space that you need, it will also add extra value on to the property and make the house more attractive to buyers.

The UK’s largest builders merchants, Travis Perkins, have announced that they have seen a change in customer trends which indicate that property developing and self building are becoming more popular again in the weeks since Christmas, whereas DIY seems to be taking more of a back seat.
The news comes as the demand for DIY equipment such as screwdrivers and paint brushes is decreasing; they are being purchased less frequently in DIY stores such as Wickes which is owned by Travis Perkins, compared both to the weeks and months before Christmas and the trends the building firm saw this time last year.
Last year, there was an overall decline of 3% in the number of retail purchases for DIY home improvement equipment, but this was lower than the sector expected considering the country was in the grip of a recession. People had still preferred the DIY option, choosing to improve their homes rather than move house, mainly due to the lack of public confidence in the housing market.
As the UK has finally moved out of recession and the housing market it beginning to turn, confidence in property prices and investing in bricks and mortar is beginning to be a more attractive prospect. This seems to be what is happening as Travis Perkins are seeing more sales to tradespeople coming out of the woodwork, who make up 70% of their customers, purchasing building materials such as bricks and timber to renovate properties for resale or as rental properties.
