Far from being the prelude to a stand up comedian's punch line, this is one of the things that home owners say to us as we get into one of the busiest times of the year in home extensions. We've all experienced it at some stage, it's our turn to have the extended family around at Christmas, some of them expect to stay over and all of a sudden the house is bursting at the seams.
So come January, you'd be amazed at how many requests we get to talk about loft conversions, garage extensions, house extensions or other building works. And it's a good time of year to start the process off. Good reliable and experienced builders are always in demand and they tend to get booked up well in advance by discerning house owners. So those who leave the whole thing until the weathers turned and the clocks have gone forward are usually missing a trick.
Now is the time to talk about the possibilities and start to get some professional pre-build advice about the best options to make even more of your house. We're out and about all over Stockport and further afield in Cheshire and Greater Manchester, providing free initial surveys for all shapes and sizes of house, though there seems to be strong demand for two storey side extensions and classic loft conversions this time around.
There's nothing more exciting than helping a family see the possibilities of improving their living space and upgrading the value of their property. The domestic market will recover, and those that have invested in their properties when the market is low will see their rewards over time!
