Is your current home feeling a bit too small? Are you yearning for a new kitchen, an additional bedroom, or perhaps an expansive dining area for hosting parties? Instead of dealing with the hassle of relocating, why not consider a more practical solution: a home extension. Our blog explains why you should consider extending your property rather than move, and how we at Point Builders can help.


1. Cost-Effectiveness


Moving involves a multitude of expenses including estate agent fees, stamp duty, moving costs, and potential renovations in your new house. Opting for a home extension can be a cost-effective solution, providing the extra space you need while also potentially increasing the value of your existing home.

2. Keep Your Connections


Relocating means leaving your community and everything you love about your neighbourhood. A home extension lets you remain in your cherished location, keeping your children in the same school and preserving friendships with neighbours. You get to enjoy all of your favourite local amenities without any disruptions.


3. Customisation and Creativity


With a home extension, you have the freedom to create a space that is truly tailored to your needs and lifestyle. Whether you are dreaming of a gourmet kitchen, a private home office, or a playroom for the kids, an extension gives you the canvas to bring these visions to life.


4. Increase Property Value


A well-planned home extension can significantly boost your property's market value. This makes an extension a solid investment, whether you are planning to sell in the future or simply want to add value to your current property.


5. Less Stress and Disruption


At Point Builders, we specialise in bringing your home extension dreams to reality. Our skilled team works closely with you from the initial planning stages through to the final build, ensuring that your new space is perfectly designed and meticulously constructed to suit your lifestyle.


Why go through the stress and expense of moving house when you can simply transform your current home into the ideal space you've been dreaming of? It's time to extend and enhance your living area to reflect your evolving needs.
