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 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 MoreGround Floor Victorian Flat Extension Help
Comments (15)All the above posts are excellent...................however, nobody seems to have mentioned the drain position. I'm a little concerned that some of the plans above may be unachievable because you'll never get to the drainage. Can you confirm where the main drain is. If you're really lucky, then they may cut across the property and it's conceivable that you have a drain outside the kitchen or even a manhole in the garage ( we've got one in ours, as the drain makes it's way to the front ). Like this:-...See MoreGround floor flat - side return and rear extension. Why the courtyard?
Comments (11)Courtyard- often the cost of moving drains is prohibitively high and a courtyard does get light in to the center of your home and lots of people don’t like high up window in a bedroom plus they have to be a certain size for regulations that often doesn’t fit the available space. Personally I love them. Separately- do you need to extend? Your stated aim seems to be an extra bathroom. Could you put one under the stairs and move the kitchen access?...See MoreWilliam de Peyrecave Ltd.
