Wrap-Around ExtensionWrap-around types of home extensions incorporate a ground floor, L-shape extension building which reaches down through the side and around the back of your property. This can really maximise your available external space to you, on the side of your house and also by building out beyond the rear garden. The wrap-around extension can put together an impressively large amount of new habitable space, which can add up to a luxurious transformation to your existing property, add some recession-proof value and improve your all-round living experience. Older type period properties seem more favourable for these types of conversions as they more often have the much-needed strip of land next to them that can be used to widen the house as well as sufficient space at the back for the rear expansion.

Double Storey ExtensionA double-storey extension would be your best investment to increase the living space over two floors of your house. Spread over the ground and second-floor levels, these types of extensions can maximise the space added to your home environment. They can produce double the amount of extra volume than other types of home extensions like your rear, side returns and wrap-around type extensions. This is because all the volume of newly created space will run through the two extra new floors. This can allow large families a much larger living space to maybe add those extra bedrooms or large family bathroom extension. The two-storey extension option can be a very cost-effective solution if you find that your family is increasing at a fast rate and moving to a larger property is not a financial possibility. It may seem an expensive choice and road to go down at first, but if you weigh it up against the only other option available which would involve the more expensive route of moving property and incurring the costs of large deposits, solicitors, estate agents, removals, stamp duty and all the other expenses and inconveniences that come with relocating houses. So a two-storey extension could solve a lot of problems and you can rest assured that your wise investment will most likely add a good amount of value to your existing home. More Info

Loft ConversionThe main reasons for doing a loft conversion are: to add space to a home, to use the loft as living accommodation, or to use it for extra storage space. In most cases, the head height is not a problem, but it is best to check this before you start the conversion process. It needs to be a minimum of 2.2 metres from the highest part of the rafters to the floor joists, but do not worry if not, as there are other methods available to create the desired height. You could have an extra bedroom with an ensuite, playroom for the children, so many options to make your home larger without the need to move home, and also this is a home improvement that can add some potential value to your Derby Home!
