How much value will an extension add to my house?
In terms of added value, the exact percentage will depend on what sort of extension you decide to go for.
Figures from Nationwide, however, suggest that extensions and loft conversions can add up to 25 per cent, extending to accommodate an additional bedroom can add up to 15 per cent and an extra bathroom can add up to six per cent to the average property.

3 FAQs about House Extensions
Do I need planning permission for a house extension?
Not necessarily. It all depends on the size, height and boundary limits of your project. In many cases, single-storey rear and side extensions can be completed under Permitted Development rights.
Do I need a Party Wall agreement for my house extension?
A Party Wall notice must be served if you’re building on or directly up to the boundary that separates your property from your neighbour’s, or if you’re excavating foundations near their property.
How long do house extensions actually take to complete?
The length of time it takes to complete a house extension will, naturally, depend on the complexity of the job in question.
The actual construction of a single-storey extension can take between three and six months to complete, but bear in mind that you also need to take into account design and planning time, as well.
