Renovating your home can be a small project or a huge project, either one can reap huge rewards. It may be an interior design project or a building project, or both. Whether you are buying a new home or renovating your current home it can often be difficult to know where to start.
How much can you afford to spend? Property renovations can cost more than you’d expect so be prepared that your project may take longer and test your budget.
This is really important before you start hiring architects and knocking down walls.
Firstly, live in your house a while to learn what you need. Take time to explore and get to know what you want from your renovation. Draw your own rough plans with ideas of what you might want where, picture all the elements of a room before you start and decide how you are going to tackle the project.
This way you won’t miss opportunities for using space well.
Consider drawing up a schedule; a key aspect of a successful renovation is clear project management. You might want to start in one room first, or if you think you might need to move out decide at which point this will need to happen.
Consult with your local planning department about your renovation and establish whether planning consent will be required for the work. Some renovation work can be done under permitted development ( permitted development rights which allows improvement and extension of homes without the need to make a planning application
www.gov.uk/planning-permission-England-Wales) "")
You should also check to see if your property lies within an article 4 or conservation area, which could have restrictions in place.
Finding the right team to take on your project is very important. Having a good contractor will result in the best quality build, having a good relationship with your contractor will ensure you get exactly what you want, while potentially saving you time and money along the way.
A surveyor will look in detail at your property and raise any major issues, it will give you an idea of any essential repairs that will be needed and what they may cost.
