How To Finance Your House Extension

By admin 

Many homeowners who desire extra space without moving often opt for a home extension. Luckily, there are numerous financing options available for a house extension to suit different budgets and requirements.

First, it’s important to establish what type of extension suits you, your home, lifestyle and budget.

Types of House Extensions

Homeowners can choose from a range of home extensions to expand their living space and accommodate their changing needs.

Single-storey extensions are popular for adding an extra room or space to the ground floor, while double-storey extensions provide additional living space on two levels.

Conservatories and orangeries are ideal for those who want to enjoy natural light and outdoor views, and they can be used as sunrooms, greenhouses, or additional living areas.

Loft conversions and basement conversions offer a cost-effective way to add extra living space by converting unused or underutilised areas into comfortable living spaces such as bedrooms, offices, or playrooms.

What is the Cost of Extending My Home?

The cost of a house extension can vary depending on various factors such as the size, design, materials, location, and labour costs. The cost can also vary widely depending on the location and the type of extension.

It’s essential to get a detailed estimate from a qualified contractor to determine the cost of your house extension accurately. We can assess your requirements, budget, and design preferences and provide you with a detailed quote that includes all the necessary costs involved.

House Extension Finance Options

There are several ways to finance a house extension, depending on your financial situation and preferences:

Personal savings:

If you have enough savings, using them to finance your house extension may be a wise option, as you won’t have to pay interest on a loan or credit.

Home equity loan:

This type of loan allows you to borrow money against the equity you have built up in your home. The interest rates are usually lower than credit cards or personal loans, and the repayment period is longer.

Remortgaging:

You can remortgage your home to borrow additional funds for your extension. This option allows you to spread the cost over a longer period, but it may result in higher overall interest payments.

Credit cards or personal loans:

If you need a smaller amount of money, you can consider using a credit card or taking out a personal loan. However, the interest rates are typically higher than home equity loans or remortgaging.

It’s essential to consider your financial situation and compare the different financing options available to choose the one that suits your needs and budget the best.
