Owning your own home

Yeah, basically a sealed tank with an expansion vessel using mains pressure to power tings, as long as your mains pressure is up to spec.

Solid point.
My jobs weren't cash in hand, I was just messin'... and I'm not rich.

Late to this, but we had the same thing on ours. Starting price was £40k, but we incurred hidden extras, like needing a chimney stack removed (for the rear bedroom), dropping the ceilings in the existing bedrooms to gain enough head-height for building regs. Also, we retrospectively factored-in a skylight over the new stairs, which in hindsight is a must-have.

But to be fair, it was nothing to do with cash job with my guy, I invited a bunch of people from mybuilder and he was the one we were most comfortable with, didn't care about the price at all.

Exactly the same housing typology as our place.
You in SE?
Who are you using?

Yah yah...
I thinking I got to have £60k for contingency and furnishing and a bit of change to make me feel like I did it under budget.

Forgot to mention; all the extras only brought it to £48k, and that's with the bathroom fitted out. You'll defo feel like you got a good deal...

Any thoughts/experience on this type of thing? https://www.landmark-lofts.com/modular

Can't believe how many of you can afford loft conversions, I thought you were all smelly couriers!

I don't get it myself. I mean, why not just buy a bigger house?

/trollface

You seem to get ones which require a boiler and others with an immersion heater built in (I think) which is what I meant by "boiler".

Although I could be talking bollocks, I only heard of them about a month ago.

Add two bedrooms to a great house in an area we love with great schools and local life... For a £50k extension to our current mortgage.

Or remortgage to the eyeballs and move to... Orpington shudder.

^ I'm also wanting to get something like this on a 3 bed terrace in Walthamstow - a double bed over the main part of the house, with adjoining ensuite out over the back part of the house.

Think it was a joke, guyses

How are people finding their loft-extensions in this warm weather?

Yes, was a joke.

However, I find it hard to believe (although I can't deny it is true) that some of the extensions I see add value to a home. Some houses just aren't meant to be extended. The new layouts just don't feel right and for me, space isn't everything.

Fair dos though, it obviously makes sense in a lot of cases. There does seem to be a bad case of this in the air:

1) Slap an extra room on it
2) Profit

We're all just getting old. These days I sometimes even ride a Brompton.

I'm already modding it to get an extra lower gear for the hills. Electric sounds good.

I don't know the exact rules but there's a minimum clearance required. Isn't Sacredhart usually good on these ones!

Plz get a kitchen roll holder. Plz.

Don't judge me!

It's nice you buy yourself some wine before getting romantic. Self romance at its finest.

finger food.

it was a joke about kitchen roll holder but whatever...
