The Cost of loft conversion and your investment

Most financial consultants will tell you that the key to success in investment is to put your money into something that you are interested in and care about, like your own home.

Whilst Property prices seem to be tumbling everywhere. This might have been bad news, but we at Home Planners see it as a real chance to improve your life and invest in the future.

Now is the time to invest in the credit crunch by forgetting about the frustration, disappointment, and disruption of selling, buying and moving and to start thinking about profiting from the future by converting your loft. Your loft space can become a real asset and you can go from just Velux windows as lights in an existing roof to virtually a whole new floor.

But what sort of difference could it make to its value?

We worked on a conversion in Muswell Hill, London last year and we added two rooms and a bathroom at a cost of £42,000 but the house went up in value by £145,000.

Imagine, Just by adding one room or a bathroom people are making up to £50,000 more. But we will always tell customers to check with estate agents to check with estate agents to make sure their investment will pay off.

Besides bottom-line considerations, there's also the whole upheaval of taking your kids' out of schools they've settled in; maybe a longer and pricier journey to work and the wrench of moving away from your community.”

The most popular way of doing this is with a loft but there are many other ways of extending your home, such as basements, extensions - or just redesigning your existing space, perhaps with a new kitchen or the removal of a wall. House extensions are a specialty too.

We can help you choose the best solution for your budget and your home and tell you how it may be possible for your investment to pay for itself several times over.
