At one time or another we have all woken up feeling unsettled, unfulfilled, and quite honestly somewhat underwhelmed with our homes.
We find fault with the size of the kitchen, pray for an en-suite when the kids have invaded the bathroom, wish we had a spare room to use as an office instead of the corner of the dining table, or yearn for light and airy open plan living complete with bi-fold doors to better appreciate all the hard work you have already put into your garden, so immediately grab for the lappy and type in www.rightmove.co.uk
STOP RIGHT THERE! Do the maths, because you don’t always have to go through the drama and expense and serious stress of moving house to achieve home palace perfection.
(The maths)
- Agent Fees – average 1 to 2 % of your property value
- Stamp Duty
- Conveyancing Fees
- Surveyors
- Mortgage Fees
- Deposits
- Removal Costs
And all that as well as having to, no-doubt, carry out some repairs or decorating you had been putting off for years. Then you need to consider the costs at the other end of the move, because unless you design it yourself there is no such thing as the perfect home:
- Bigger mortgage fees
- Higher council tax fees
- Furniture (because nothing ever fits)
- Décor to your taste
- New flooring
- New kitchen
- New bathroom
- Tackling the curb appeal, patio & garden
- Windows & doors and more…
Tally all that up and then allow your heart to calm down and your eyes to stop watering! Because here at www.lexdenbuilders.co.uk we literally have decades of experience in not only extending your property where required to better suit your residence’s needs to the very highest standards, but also the design vision to see where things could be changed or improved for the better, for the greater good as it were.
For example, we have redesigned and configured many homes over many years, providing those additional bedrooms, vital w.c.’s, open plan living spaces and kitchens that have had the neighbours green with envy. We have moved garages, taken down walls, moved stairs, and provided plans for the perfect living space that have, on occasion had clients in tears of joy.
So, if you have a building project in mind, no matter the size, and you want to be assured of the perfect finish for your family, why don’t you get in touch with Steve and the team for a chat about how we can ensure that your rebuild and renovation dreams come true.
