Extending a home can be more cost-effective than buying a larger property, especially when you factor in the additional hidden costs of moving to a new home. Our experience with residential extensions in Tauranga has given us valuable insights to share. If you live in this coastal city, here are the benefits of building an extension on your Bay of Plenty property.
You can create more living space
Many people agree that Tauranga is a wonderful place to live. There's no need to leave just because your home lacks space for your growing family or storage needs. First, consider whether a home extension could solve your problem. An extension is a practical solution that can accommodate the needs of your evolving property and expanding family.
There are many options for a home extension
When a homeowner does opt for an extension, it’s usually to make the kitchen roomier or add a new bedroom or bathroom. However, there are other possibilities you could also consider.
Do you live in a terraced house with an under-utilised side area? You might be able to expand the building into that.
Does your property have a basement? Perhaps that could be extended.
If all else fails, you could look into extending upward: extending the loft.
Residential space can be used more efficiently
You can maximise the use of space that has been neglected. For instance, if you have a garden that you rarely use, consider allowing your extension to make use of that area.
An extension can enhance your property’s value
The added square footage often leads to an increase in the overall market value of the property and is more likely to attract potential buyers pushing up the property’s eventual selling price. If you have no intention of selling your home for the foreseeable future, an extension can still serve as an investment while enhancing your lifestyle for the shorter term.
An extension can enhance the appearance of your home
When we are tasked with designing and constructing your home extension, we commit to ensuring its seamless integration with the rest of the property, maintaining both unity and an elevated aesthetic. The extension’s design will ultimately be yours, not ours, but we can guide you during the process before we begin the extension build.
Whatever ideas you want to share with us at the design stage, we’re here to listen and incorporate your input. To learn more about our expertise in putting together home extensions in Tauranga, please contact us.
