Help needed with ground floor flat extension
Comments (2)Hi there Will, This is a great project. I love the transformation of flats into open plan living/connecting to the garden. Your floor plan is huge and the final product would be fantastic. I have worked on over 600 residential developments and these are still my favourite. The extension costs will be in the region of £45-60k + VAT and generally clients would spend in the region of £100k + VAT on the redesigned space once they have purchased a kitchen and glazing products etc. At this stage it is almost impossible to determine a more accurate figure without a design being produced/specification finalised and further investigation works being carried out, hence the range. A few questions/pointers. Do you own the share of freehold or are you a leaseholder? When designing this, consider a small courtyard outside of the bedrooms to enable you to retain daylight filtration/ventilation. Have you analysed the market to see what the value of a 3 bedroom flat would be? Might be worth considering this as part of the design to maximise value, if you are interested in this. Note that the extension may need to be bigger, however if you end up spending an extra say £15-20k increasing the SQFT/gaining a bedroom, then this could be a sound investment. Happy to assist if you have any further questions. Nick...See MoreGround Floor Victorian Terrace Flat Extension Help
Comments (7)Thanks Jonathan, Really appreciate that and gives us some food for thought. Unfortunately I don't think it would give us the size bathroom we would like (hoping to keep it to as similar size to what it is now. We'd also prefer a window for ventilation due to condensation in the property. I think it's probably more difficult that I thought to ask someone to do this without seeing the property due to it's 'quirks.' The cupboard housing the meters is bigger than the plan properly shows for example (approx 60x60cm), and there are 2 steps going down into the kitchen. If it makes any difference to anyones thoughts the wall between the bedroom and reception room is plasterboard and so could be changed easily. Would really appreciate any further thoughts though......See MoreSW London, one-bed flat, ground floor side-return advice please!
Comments (1)Something like this with a courtyard? I've put in a v small shower room and utility cupboard, but you could play about with exact layout depending on dimensions. I have assumed you didn't want a second bedroom, but I think a good architect could squeeze you one in if you extend back too- good luck!...See MoreHelp needed - Ground floor flat layout
Comments (9)You need to figure out what's important to you. Do you want two bedrooms or do you only need one, or would you want one and a study? Is the garage important to you? Is resale value particularly important or not? Also, which room do you spend most time in, because that should probably be the room with the nicest outlook if possible. Which way is the nicest outlook, and which way points in which compass direction (East is a bad direction for a bedroom). Are any of the rooms overlooked, you don't really want your bedroom overlooked. Would a conservatory or sunroom on the garden side be the BEST THING EVER or just never used? If you know what you want we can help you get it but you have to decide what you want first, really....See MoreWilliam de Peyrecave Ltd.
