  • Caliber of Fixtures and Fitting
    After the size of the extension, the next biggest element is the quality of the surface. Selecting high-end choices can cause the final cost being greater than double what it would be when picking the standard alternatives.
  • Size of Extension
    When you are obtaining an extension on your house, the single biggest variable that will certainly affect the price of your extension is the size of it.

If the location inside the extension is easy, without internal wall surfaces, after that this will certainly decrease the cost per m2 slightly. Nonetheless, even with this in mind. The bigger the area of your extension, the extra you pay.
  • Kind of Extension
    The kind of extension you select will certainly go a long way in the direction of dictating exactly how big your extension will certainly be. Side return extensions produce the tiniest added room so are frequently the least expensive choice, while a wraparound cooking area extension will certainly develop one of the most area and also have one of the most pricy fittings and components.
  • Building Regulations
    In many cases, constructing policies don't include a great deal of cost to a structure project. However, if you are developing an extension onto an older residence, there might be some unanticipated costs. This is especially real if the residence has actually not lately been upgraded. Building guidelines will apply to your entire home, not simply the extension. This can bring about the requirement for electrics to be considered or door replaced.

does a kitchen extension add value to your house?

If you’re planning to add a kitchen extension to your property or perhaps you’re simply looking for ways to increase the value of your property, this is one of the common questions that usually pops up. A simple answer to this question is yes, a kitchen extension will add value to your house. With a kitchen being one of the most frequently used room in a house, adding an extra space to the commonly used room can only increase the value of the entire property. However, to determine the value added by such an extension, there’s a need to calculate the cost of setting one up first.

Kitchen extension costs are greatly influenced by a wide range of variables such as the size, type of the extension and specifications, your location, professional fees, materials used and more. Overall, the type of the extension you opt for will play the most significant role in the determination of your kitchen extension cost. Here, we’ll be looking at a single storey kitchen extension.

For a single storey kitchen extension, you can expect your home’s market value to increase within the range of 5 percent to about 10 percent. When trying to calculate the cost of kitchen extension, it’s crucial to take into account how much value it’ll add to your home so as to make sure that the amount expended will not outweigh the expected value to be added by the project.

For a more accurate idea, there’s the need to consult local estate agents. However, for a much needed guideline, single storey kitchen extensions are usually able to add about 5 to 10 percent to a home’s value, while double storey extension should be up to 20 percent. But as stated earlier, this will depend on several variables.

how much does a single storey house extension cost?

If you’re planning to build a single story house extension, this is one of the first questions that usually comes to mind to help you set a budget and start to make plans. But as simple as it seems, a single accurate answer can not be provided due to the fact that there are several variables that can play a key role in influencing the price of a single story house extension. These variables includes the size, location, design or specification as well as the build route. In this guide, we’ll provide you with a rough estimate that you can work with to put you on the right path.

The main determinant of the cost of a single storey extension is the size of the build, while the next most relevant factor is the quality of the finish you opt for. For a small extension, you can expect to spend a sum within the range of £14,000 to £17,000. Meanwhile for a larger single storey extension, if you opt for a large wrap around the extension with a great amount of glass to be incorporated in both the walls and roof, you can expect to pay a sum within the range of £80,000 to £120,000.

Overall, the average cost of a single story house extension is usually within the range of £34,000 to £37,000. For this price, you should get a standard sized rear or side extension which also includes the cost of a kitchen - it’s the most commonly use for a single story extension especially in the UK.

There are some additional costs you may also need to factor in to your extension budget. These includes surveys, architect fees, planning application fee (if needed), insurance and Party Wall Agreement (if needed).
