THE MOST POPULAR EXTENSIONS FOR HOMEOWNERS. BY SAM WYLIE-HARRIS

WHEN it comes to home renovations, making the most of what you have is right up there... and expanding one's living space can take your layout to the next level.

WHY EXTEND?

"With the rising costs of buying and selling, especially stamp duty and land tax, an extension can be a good financial option too," says Michael Holmes, property expert for the Homebuilding & Renovating Show.

As well as transforming your living space, an extension can significantly increase the value of a home.

SINGLE-STOREY EXTENSIONS

WHAT THEY ARE: "These are typically added to the side or rear of a property, providing a seamless transition between the indoor and outdoor space," he explains.

WHY THEY'RE POPULAR: "Single-storey extensions are versatile and can be used for various purposes, such as kitchens, living rooms, or dining areas," suggests Michael. "They allow for an open-plan layout, which is highly sought after in modern homes."
