Five questions to ask before you extend

An extension is the largest purchase many families make after the house itself. These are the questions we ask in our first meeting.

The five questions

1. What is not working in the house today?
2. How long do you plan to stay?
3. What is your all-in budget, including fees and VAT?
4. Could a better layout solve the problem without extending?
5. Who will live here in ten years?

The fourth question surprises people. Sometimes the best extension is the one you do not build.
