Don’t move – when you can improve

There are lots of programmes on TV regarding refurbishing and renovating your property or indeed buying a property, which could benefit from modernisation., and renovating the property either yourselves or using builders.

The benefit of renovating or refurbishing, as opposed to moving, is considerable. Apart from the cost saving, other advantages are that you can change the property to your personnel requirements.

Houses or bungalows can equally be renovated. Internal walls can be removed to create more of an open-plan living area. The loft space can be converted to living space, by adding Bedroom and Bathrooms and providing stairs.

Alterations to a property can require Local Authority Planning Permission and Approval, especially if the appearance is being changed. Building Regulations will be required when structural alterations are proposed.

The Planning and Building Regulations drawings and the structural calculations can be provided by Simple Design Services Ltd. and even the application to the Local Authority can be submitted. Simple Design Services Ltd. can also assist with providing builders who can undertake the works.
