Garage Conversions

When looking to add an extra room to their property, most homeowners will opt for an extension, loft conversion or conservatory to provide the additional space they crave.
But with a new extension costing an average of between £1000 – £1500 per square metre, costs can quickly add up and outweigh any potential profits from an increase in the house price.

That’s why so many homeowners have instead chosen to convert their garage into that extra living space they need and desire.

Convert your garage – add up to 20%

Around 90% of all garages in the UK are left empty. If you have off-road parking and depending on where you live, you may find converting a garage can significantly increase your home’s value.

Estimates suggest conversion into an en-suite bedroom could increase your home’s value by around £40,000 (around 20% of the value of an average £218,000 home) – but if that doesn’t suit your home or your needs, by turning it into a playroom or study you could still increase the value by about £20,000 (approximately 10%).
