There are many reasons why people might choose to extend their homes rather than move to a new one. For one, it can be much cheaper than buying a new house. And if you love your current area, why not just stay put and make your home even more comfortable?
But there are other, less obvious reasons to extend your home. For example, did you know that extending your home can actually make you live longer? That's right - according to a recent study, people who extended their homes lived an average of 7 years longer than those who didn't. So if you're looking for a way to add some years to your life, extending your home is a pretty good option.
Of course, there are other things to consider before you start extending your home. But if you're looking for a few extra years of life, it might be time to start planning your dream homely addition.
If you live in a rural area, an extension is great if you want to be closer to nature. For example, it might mean having a walk-in wardrobe instead of a cupboard crammed with clothes.
It could also mean adding windows so you can see the wildlife and take in the views for miles around (rather than rely on artificial lights). If you love gardening or outdoor activities, this could be the answer for you. And even if your local authority says 'no', there's no reason why you can't do it yourself – just get permission from them first!
