In recent years loft extensions in London have become an increasingly popular way for property owners to improve the value of their homes. With smaller houses and growing families, homeowners look for a way to use their space wisely and a loft extension allows for just that.

Today we’ll be looking at the reasons behind the current popularity of loft extensions in London and why you might want to consider one for your own home.

Maximising The Value of Your Space

As anyone with experience in the London property market will know, every inch of space is important. Whether you’re thinking about your own short-term needs or the potential value of your property for resale or rental purposes, you’ll want to make the absolute most of what you have.

Sometimes that means being savvy with your interior design, or even sacrificing large furniture/appliances, but sometimes it means going an extra step, with a loft extension.

Cutting Down on Clutter

Over time, any house gets cluttered – particularly family homes – and it can be almost impossible to have enough loft space. In part, this problem comes from the urge to keep anything of sentimental value but even for those who keep nothing but the essentials, sooner or later your storage space will start to fill up.

Building a loft extension can allow you to clear out the rest of your house, keeping only the items you want on display and making the whole home feel bigger and more spacious.

Thinking Long Term

It’s also worth noting the major long-term benefits of this kind of property improvement. After all, it’s not just an investment in your present happiness, but in the value of your home. If you ever decide to sell or rent out the property, you’ll reap the benefits of that investment several times over.

At the end of the day, home improvements are expensive and you should always be looking to get the most out of your spending. Whether you need an extra bedroom, a storage area, or the personal office you’ve always dreamed of, a loft extension is one of the simplest ways there is to make the most of what you already have.
