The housing market has come to a near standstill in the past couple of years which
has given many people no other alternative but to remain in their existing property. This has in turn resulted in a strong demand for home improvements as people look to improve upon what they already have to help make their wait to sell that more enjoyable and to increase the value of their home. The preferred option for most has been to install a conservatory, something which can now be done easier than ever before.
Planning permission requirements have been relaxed by the government as the look to encourage the country to get building again and given the construction industry a much-needed boost. This now means that you can install an extension up to 8 meters long without having to approach your local authority for clearance. This will help expedite the installation process which is beneficial to both homeowner and installer.
If this news has given you the motivation you need to get down to your local home improvement company then you will have made a very wise decision as home extensions provide you with a world of opportunity.
For instance, did you know that the installation of conservatories in Basingstoke, conservatories Portsmouth and conservatories in Southampton can increase the value of your home by an average of 8 per cent? It is true. Estate agents will view an extension as being a huge plus point and take it into consideration when valuing your home. Buyers will also be left impressed as it gives them a little extra space to do whatever they want to do in their new property.
A conservatory also allows you to combine indoor and outdoor living more easily. A set of French, bi-folding doors or patio doors can be added to the structure so that you can open them and find yourself slap bang in your garden within seconds. This is particularly useful for those who like to let their children play in the garden and keep their eye on them. It also gives you the ideal opportunity to get the barbecue out on those hot summer days.
One of the best things about owning a conservatory is that once completed it will last for many, many years and will remain on trend and fashionable during that time. You also never need fear that it will become too hot or too warm. It will continuously remain at a temperature conducive to luxury living.
