How To Add Value to Your Home with a House Extension in Auckland Central

There are all sorts of exciting home extension options! Extend your space with a traditional addition to allow for a larger kitchen, dedicated laundry, or bonus bedroom, remove walls for open plan living, convert your garage, or consider an outdoor entertainment area that offers great flow from your living or dining spaces. Extending your home gives you the space you want without the hassle of moving and improves your lifestyle. Refresh are experts when it comes to extensions and additions so talk to a Renovation Consultant to see what’s possible for your property. 

Choosing the Right Design for Your Extension

Working with an expert designer will ensure your extension is functional, fit for purpose, and looks fabulous! At Refresh we work with talented designers who think outside the box and provide innovative solutions to achieve your goals within your budget. Ultimately the right extension will be one that suits your lifestyle and finances, so speak with a Renovation Consultant for personal advice. 

What Should I Consider When Planning Your House Extension in Auckland Central?

Good design is key when planning a house addition. Does the extension blend well with the rest of the property, or does it feel like an ‘add on’? A talented designer will ensure your extension or conversion blends seamlessly with the rest of your home and will offer great design tips and tricks for making the most of the available space. You should also consider how you will keep the space warm and energy efficient, particularly if you are converting an existing space like a garage, so think about insulation, heat pumps, and double glazing. Finally, talk to your Auckland Central Renovation Consultant about any council bylaws that may affect your plans. They are up to speed with all the rules and regulations and can help you plan an extension that meets all council requirements. 

How Much Will My House Extension Cost in Auckland Central?

The short answer is – it depends! So many factors will affect the cost of your house extension including the layout of your existing home, council consent costs, the size of your extension, and your existing exterior and foundation. Different outcomes can be achieved at different price points, so speak to your Renovation Consultant about what’s possible within your budget.

Will a House Extension Add Value to My Home?

A house extension can add value in more ways than one! An additional bedroom, office, loft, or rumpus room will be more attractive to buyers and can increase your home value on the market if you choose to sell. Additional bedrooms can also increase your rental income. But an extension will also add value to your lifestyle, by giving you more room for the things that are important to you. The option to work (or work out!) from home, a larger kitchen for entertaining friends and family, or a bonus loft are all fantastic additions that help you get the most out of your living space. (Not to mention the added value of peace when the teenagers no longer have to share a room!) 

Do I Need Building Consent for my House Extension?

In most cases a house extension in Auckland Central will require building consent. But don’t fret! Working with an end-to-end project management company like Refresh means that all the details are taken care of for you – including all council paperwork. Refresh Renovation Consultants are up to date with all council regulations and can advise you about different design approaches, costs, and complete all applications on your behalf.
