Missed out on ‘no stamp duty’ offer? Maybe it’s time for a home extension

The New Year is a great time to take stock of all the things we planned in the past 12 months but didn’t get round to. And for many homeowners, that may be moving house and taking advantage of not paying stamp duty. The coronavirus pandemic prevented people moving for so many reasons – bit it doesn’t mean you can’t have the home you want.

If you’re looking to move because of a growing family and the need for more living space, home extensions are often the more affordable option. You get to design your new room exactly as you want it while saving on solicitors, estate agent and removal fees. And you get to keep building memories in the home you love.

Managing a growing household in a buyer’s market

You’ve probably heard it said that in house-sale terms, it’s a buyer’s market right now. Great news for first time buyers. But not so great if you’re an existing homeowner looking to upsize, as the sale of your homes is likely to give you less than you want, less than you expected and less than you might get if you hold off on the sale. But if you have a growing family, time may not be on your side. There is, however, a cost-effective alternative – home extensions.

If you’re happy in your home, the location is convenient for work, school and everything else you do with your life, and the only reason you’re planning to move is for more space, you might be surprised to find just how affordable an extension is – particularly when compared to the costs of moving home.

At JMR Construction we specialise in houseextensions Leeds to help you make the most of the space you have and increase your living space to meet changing needs. To talk to us about how a house extension could be the best answer to your growing family, get in touch today.

How to use a side return extension to increase living space?

Extending into the side return of your property can have a huge effect on the amount of living space in the home. In a market where house prices can prevent moving to a larger property, home extensions are a cost-effective way to make the most of your current home whilst adding significant value to it. Many people extend their side return to create an open plan kitchen and dining area, but it can also be uses as a utility room which, in turn, creates extra kitchen space and makes for a more organised home. 

When planning your side return utility room, it’s important to think about how you will use the space. It’s likely to be compact but you have a chance to design in a such a way that you get maximum use out of it. That means accounting for the appliances you want to place in it and the storage space you want to help keep the rest of your home clutter free.

What is multi-family housing?

Multi-family housing is becoming increasingly popular as the housing market changes and people look for alternative ways to get on the property ladder. Multi-family living requires several separate housing units contained within one building, or sometimes several buildings within a complex. Initially, co-living was aimed at young people with disposable income who wanted some independence, but nowadays older people are also seeing the benefits of it; community, safety and a chance to enjoy the equity built up in their home.

At JMR Construction in Leeds we specialise in designing and building multi-family housing to suit your individual needs and requirements. This can be a home extension or a truly bespoke built development. If your looking for home extensions Leeds, thinking about how to make best use of your equity or just planning for the future, give us a call to discuss how multi-family housing could benefit you.

Why up sticks when you can upgrade home extensions?

Very few of us buy our first home with the intention of staying there forever. It’s usually the first rung on the ladder that will eventually lead you to finding your ideal location; whether it’s good for commuting, near the best schools or just a pleasant area to live in. But once you’ve found your forever home, moving again can seem like a massive upheaval, even if you really need that extra space because of a growing family, working from home or a myriad of other reasons. There’s the inconvenience, the cost, not to mention the emotional wrench of leaving the place you call home.

At House Extensions Leeds we know how much your home means to you. And we know that often the cost of home extensions can be relatively small when compared with the amount you’ll end up spending on removal vans, estate agent fees, solicitor’s fees and all the other costs that come with moving.

So, if you find yourself in need of extra room but wanting to stay put, give us a call and let our expert Extension Builders Leeds talk through your requirements to see if we can help you upgrade and not up sticks.
