Extensions are becoming one of the most popular trends in home renovations. Not only do they effectively increase the size and functionality of a home, but they also add significant value to your property, making them a smart investment.

​

For instance, a kitchen extension is one of the most sought-after upgrades, allowing homeowners to create an open-plan space perfect for cooking, dining, and family activities. Such extensions can range from £25,000 to £50,000, depending on the size and the level of finish. On the other hand, adding an extra bedroom or a home office in the form of a rear or side extension can cost between £30,000 and £70,000, depending on whether it’s a single or double-story build.

​

By adding more living space—whether it’s a larger kitchen, an additional bedroom, or a home office—an extension can make your property more desirable and attractive to potential buyers. In fact, a well-executed extension can boost the market value of a home significantly, often by more than the initial cost of construction.

​

For homeowners, extensions also offer substantial personal benefits. With the right design and materials, you can create a comfortable, customised space for family gatherings, relaxation, or showcasing unique design features. Plus, many of the materials used in extensions today are eco-friendly, making them not only beautiful but also sustainable. Energy-efficient designs help reduce energy consumption and make the most of natural light, further enhancing the value of your home.

​

In terms of cost, the price of an extension can vary based on size and specifications. For example, a single-story extension typically ranges from £1,500 to £2,500 per square meter, meaning a 20-square-meter kitchen extension could cost between £30,000 and £50,000. For a two-story extension, costs are slightly higher, usually between £2,000 and £3,000 per square meter. A 40-square-meter, two-story extension might fall in the range of £80,000 to £120,000. Of course, these numbers can change depending on the complexity of the project, materials used, and any bespoke features you may want to include, such as bi-fold doors, roof lights, or underfloor heating.
