North East Property Conversions
In this modern day and age where space seems to be gobbled up like nobody’s business, we need to think outside the box to be clever with space – particularly since that box is also getting full quite quickly. If your current house is lacking in space and you’re considering moving then make sure you consider the below options first! Moving home can be quite some task so before you start ringing around local estate agents and boxing up your belongings consider the extra space options available in your current home. Here are four suggestions to add extra space some could even increase the value of your home…
Loft Conversions
If you need more space in your home, then a loft conversion is well worth considering as it’s more cost-effective to make better use of existing space than adding more. When done well, a loft conversion could add value to your home and allow you to recoup costs that would be lost should you decide to move house.


Garage Conversions
If you are looking to add both space and value to your existing home, then a garage conversion is well worth considering. Not only could converting your garage into a room transform the way you live in your home but, done well, it could also add as much as 10% to your home’s value.
Basement Conversions
A basement is the ideal location for additional family living space, such as a playroom or home entertainment room. It is also a great place to relocate the utility room, boiler and storage, freeing up more valuable above-ground space.


Floor Plan Conversions
Stuck for space? your first thought should be whether you can make more of the space you already have. Traditional properties tend to have a warren of small rooms, leaving interiors with no light and turning existing rooms into corridors. Remodelling can solve these problems and create the space you want, without having to extend.
