When planning home improvements, it’s important to think about the long-term. A space that grows with you as your needs change is the best way to maximise your investment. That’s why our local builders take the time to understand our clients’ current and future needs when exploring options for property extensions, loft conversions and garage conversions. Below, we look at some considerations for creating a versatile home that can adapt to your household over the years.

If you have young children or are planning to add to your family, think about how household needs are likely to change as they grow. For example, kids might be happy sharing a room now but will likely want their own bedrooms when they’re teenagers. One family bathroom could work perfectly for you at the moment, but an older or larger family could end up fighting over bathroom time.
To meet the needs of your family over the years without multiple construction projects, our local builders recommend creating multi-use spaces. There are many ways to do this with loft conversions, garage conversions and property extensions. Here are just some ideas:
Are you in your forever home? If so, it pays to think about what your needs might look like as you enter your later years. This allows you to plan ahead, ensuring your home continues to work for you as you age.
Many people experience decreased mobility as they get older, making it harder to get up and down stairs. Adding a downstairs bathroom or garage conversion that could be used as a bedroom can help pre-empt future needs. Bear in mind that a loft conversion may become less accessible if you eventually have trouble with stairs.
You might also consider potential future accessibility needs if using a walking stick, walker or wheelchair. Wide doorways and walkways are simple solutions that won’t hinder you if your mobility changes, and our local builders can incorporate these into property extensions, garage rooms and home alterations in the Chobham area.
