No matter how big or small your family is, we bet that in some shape or form that you’d like more space.
A simple way to add value to your home is to add space, that one thing we all crave. Since the introduction of the Home Renovation Incentive Scheme which was introduced in last October’s Budget, now might be the time to consider some renovations.
As our families grow and its needs change – so do our homes. Sometimes it’s a new or extended kitchen or a new bathroom. Perhaps it’s an attic conversion for more bedroom space. Or if it’s extra sunlight and ground floor space you crave, a conservatory might be for you. Others look at amending the existing layout of their homes, by converting a garage, knocking through rooms and creating new ones.
If some of these options sound appealing to you, you could be one of many people now choosing to extend or renovate their homes due to the increase in home prices and a shortage of new properties coming on to the market.
Consider these 4 major benefits for considering home improvements:

Comfort
Your home is your castle, and you should feel as comfortable as possible within your four walls. Remodelling improvements can help make your home the blissful paradise you deserve.
Increasing space
If your home feels too cramped, expansions, room additions or conversions can allow your family that extra space you need.
Energy efficiency
On top of our new found comfort and space after a remodel, you’ll be doing backflips when you see your next energy bill. You should find that with energy efficiency in mind with your upgrade, your bill comes down a good bit in the process, whether you consider new windows or better insulation, to name just a few options.
Thinking of moving on? Consider building on!
If you have outgrown your home or feel like a complete change of surroundings, consider the possibility of building on, before moving on. By improving your home and creating that much needed extra space, you are not only making this a better place to live, you are also investing in your home for the future.
