3 Types of Home Extensions to Improve Property Value

Home extensions on the Gold Coast can significantly boost the resale value of your property while also enhancing your quality of life.

Let’s take a look at a few home extension projects that you might want to consider to raise the value of your home and make it a better place to live.

Kitchen Extensions

One of the most popular home extension projects is a kitchen extension. Expanding your kitchen can significantly increase the property value because the kitchen is considered the heart of your home.

Many buyers see a modern and spacious kitchen as a huge value addition. Enhancing functionality with space to accommodate more appliances and storage can make this essential room in the house more enjoyable and valuable.

Single-Story Rear Extensions

Single-story rear extensions are popular because they offer flexibility in design. Whether it is adding an additional living room, bedroom, dining area, study or expanding your kitchen, you have the freedom to do so—as far as local zoning regulations allow.

If you have space on your property towards the rear of your house, incorporating additional rooms can boost the overall value of your house by increasing its square footage.

The downside of single-story rear extensions is that they can reduce your garden space. Since outdoor space is still value-adding, it is best to find a balance.

Double-Story Extensions

Double-story extensions can drastically increase the space in your home (and property value), allowing you to build additional bedrooms, bathrooms or entire new living areas.

Like a single-story extension, a two-story extension can add significant value to your home by increasing the square footage, making a big difference to your property’s value. It can also provide significant functional benefits and improve the quality of life by offering additional living areas.

There are also strict regulations regarding the building of two-story extensions in residential areas and the disruption to your living arrangements can be significant. So it is important to note that this may require you to make alternative living arrangements for the course of your home extension project.
