What to Consider Before Extending Your Home

 

House extensions can make your Sydney home be everything you want it to. With more space, more storage and a fresh upgrade for your home, many Australians are choosing to extend rather than move.

However, before you take the plunge and undergo home extensions in Sydney, here are a few things to think about.

Do your plans add value?

Extending your home may be at the top of your priority list, but will it add value? Every home has a ceiling price, so it is worth considering this before you plan your dream home. It could be that your plans have to change to reflect how they could affect the value.

Have a look at similar homes in your area and what they have sold for to get a better idea of what your home could go for once the work has been completed.

Make sure it follows all the building regulations

If you are working with a reputable company, the chances are they will take care of all the legalities for you. You want to make sure everything is above board and legal.

At Your Style, we take care of all the Council negotiations, Certifiers Construction Certificate application, Certifiers and Engineers inspections, all trades in the construction stage through to Council’s final compliance certificate. There is nothing for you to worry about, and you can have complete peace of mind.

How big do you want to go?

When extending your home, it can be tempting to go as big as possible. You may dream of all that extra space and what you’re going to do with it. Think about this carefully; you are better off having the right design that is functional, as well as beautiful, than having more space for the sake of it.

During your planning, you’ll also need to think about whether you want to compliment the exterior of your existing home or contrast.

Will you have to move out?

Understandably, you may be concerned about where you are going to live while your build is being completed. If you choose to move out, bear in mind that it will come at an extra cost, and you will have to factor rent into your budget.
