The Benefits of Building Up – Jakanda 1st Floor Additions

Adding a first floor addition to your home isn’t just a clever thing to do for space and perhaps extra utility, but it’s also the fiscally responsible thing to do as it adds value to your house.

It’s a guaranteed way to boost the value of your house, while still giving you extra space to do something unique.

First Floor Additions for Your Home

We always say that the only family that doesn’t need a 1st-floor addition is one that hasn’t yet thought of a use for it. Getting an addition to the first floor of your home doesn’t usually require any planning permissions, which makes the process a lot quicker, and a little cheaper. The estimated value of an addition could add value to your house from anywhere between 8 and 12 percent.

It’s a great way to extend the view from your home, as you’d be able to extend outwards getting a better angle on what you’d like to see. Another popular suggestion or request from customers is a new private balcony for parents. Having something like this extend off a master bedroom on a home gives parents peace and quiet for them to read, and relax, while taking in the afternoon sun.

How To Find More Space In Your Current Home

It’s easy to underutilize the space we have in our home. A great example is having a dusty attic that is not used regularly. Sometimes ‘out of sight’ really does mean ‘out of mind’.
