Take a deep breath, exhale slowly and tell us again why you want to move home. Tell us why you are going to uproot your family from their friends, possibly their school; tell us why, after all that hard work decorating your existing home, you are going to have to do it all over again. Tell us how you got a mortgage in the current climate; and explain to us again why you decided to discount the price of your house so much in order to finally find a buyer.
Remind us again why you are spending all that money - stamp duty, estate agent fees, legal costs as well as the cost of the house - when you have a perfectly good house, which can evolve to meet your needs at a fraction of the cost.
Space+ specialise in unlocking the potential in your existing home - the design-led firm will analyse how space is used in your home and then recommendwhere new additions or adapting existing space such as lofts or garages, could be introduced not only to increase the living space of your home but also increase its value.
As a general rule, anything that adds floor space to your home is a good investment, and according to the Nationwide, can add almost 5% to the value of an average house, 7% if it's a detached home. By converting a loft or adding an extra bathroom or bedroom this figure increases to up to 20%.
However the National Association of Estate Agents says that having an extension can actually add anywhere between 10 and 50%. A new kitchen is also seen as a good investment, adding between 10 15% to the value of your house.
But adding value to your home isn't the only consideration, creating additional space - so much more than just adding on a conservatory - can also dramatically transform your home, and ensure it continues to provide the best possible location for you and your family. As well as giving you more space to be used how you really need it (an additional bedroom, an extended kitchen, a home office etc), a project managed by Space+ will save you considerable time, hassle and cash.
Moving home is one of the most stressful things a family can do, and usually there is no-one on hand to help you through the myriad pitfalls, crises and problems that invariably pop up during the process.
A conversion by Space+ eliminates all this stress. The firm offers a unique guarantee before any work is undertaken - the project manager who will be dedicated to you throughout the process will give you a cast iron budget and timescale. Space+ guarantee their costs will not go over the agreed budget - if it costs more to complete, they absorb the extra cost themselves - and that the work will be completed in a specified time. If the project goes over that timescale, Space+ will offer compensation to you.
