While some may believe extensions are very expensive to add onto their homes, they’re not that costly and add a lot of value onto your home, at times as much as 3 times the cost of the extensions, turning an £18,000 investment into £54,000 extra value!
Most of the cost of an extension goes into the cost of materials, labour and construction required for a new wing to your property. There’s also the cost of decorations and fittings that you’d like for your new room. All this adds up to an average of £1,600 - £2,600 per square meter. This means it’s usually a much cheaper option than going for a loft or basement extension and is usually more likely to gain planning permission.

The final cost of an extension in Wigan usually turns out to be £19,000 for an average home’s extension with one storey. Of course if you know you would like a two-storey extension, it’s much more efficient to ask for that straight away than try to add another story at a later date! Getting a two-storey will cost around £29,000 - £30,000, whereas trying to change it later on will be closer to £40,000 as the existing extension would need the roof broken down in such a way to keep the structure of the extension itself secure which is fairly complex and challenging!
