Extending your home has a number of excellent benefits, with seemingly too many to name in such a short space. However, without doubt, one of the greatest attractions is the opportunity to increase the value of your property and avoid the need to relocate for more room.

In fact, both mortgage advisors and property experts alike comment on the value added to properties with extensions – so if you fancy increasing the value of your home by up to 10%, there has never been a better time to get started.

However, what could you do with all that extra space? Again, there are an abundance of options – and here are a few of our favourites.

• Living room

Fed up of the kids hogging the TV or causing a havoc after school? Then why not build an extra space for the whole family to enjoy? Get away from the mayhem and put your feet up – in your own personal space. It’s also welcomed room for when you’re hosting (particularly a larger party), so you won’t have to worry there won’t be enough space.

• Extend the kitchen

Have you always wanted a larger kitchen? Feel you’re always bumping into the other half or don’t have enough worktop area? If either if these applies, extending the kitchen could be ideal, and you’ll be able to have the design and shape exactly as you’ve dreamed. The opportunities are endless and you’ll be left with a kitchen you can be proud of.

• Home office

Nowadays, more and more people are finding themselves at home with a laptop in tow – whether that’s for an afternoon or even a few days a week. If you fit the bill and want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the home environment, your own office would be perfect. Kit it out with everything you need and avoid the distractions of your TV or gaming console (unless you’re on lunch, of course).

• Home gym

Want to start burning a few calories in the evening, but don’t have the time to keep disappearing to the local gym? Then why not bring the gym to you. Kit your extension with all the machines you’ll need and start working on your beach body. The convenience of a home gym means you’ll find yourself doing even the smallest of workouts every day.
