Home planning for the year ahead

With house prices not expected to increase in value much this year, the number of people extending, renovating and converting  their homes is set to rise.

Many experts, including the Federation of Master Builders (FMB), do not expect an end to this property downturn until 2011. At Marble Construction, we are advising homeowners to upgrade and improve their homes throughout 2010 in anticipation of a house recovery. This is a fantastic opportunity for those who dreamt of building their own home, gaining an extra bedroom in their existing home or  simply want to upgrade an old kitchen or bathroom. In fact this year is perfect for anyone who wants to change their existing space dramatically.

If you want to build your dream home from scratch, this is the time to start looking for a plot of land, decide on what you want from a new home, speak to us about the local planning restrictions and maybe instruct us to start drawing up your preliminary plans.

For those who have outgrown their existing home and want to convert, this is the year to think about converting the loft space, the garage or the basement. You may need the space for a home office, gym, a cinema room or playroom. The opportunities are endless when it comes to adding space.

You may decide that you want to extend the back or side of your property to accomodate a bigger lounge or kitchen. However you want to extend, Marble Construction are here to help.

Other ways of investing in your property are to renovate key areas of the house such as kitchens, living rooms and bathrooms.
