Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 50% rule for house extensions?
The 50% rule states that your house extension must not exceed 50% of the total land around the original house. This applies under permitted development rules, meaning extensions must comply with size restrictions without requiring planning permission. Consulting an experienced extension builder ensures your project follows regulations.
What is the cheapest way to extend a house?
The most cost-effective house extension methods include single-storey extensions, garage conversions, and loft conversions. Using timber frames, keeping the design simple, and working with expert tradespeople to streamline the construction process can also help reduce costs.
How much is the average house extension in the UK?
The cost of a house extension varies based on size, materials, and complexity. On average:
• Single-storey extension: £1,200 – £1,800 per m²
• Double-storey extension: £1,500 – £2,500 per m²
• Garage conversion: £10,000 – £30,000

What size extension can I build without planning permission in 2025?
Under permitted development rules, you can typically build:
• Single-storey rear extensions: Up to 4m for detached houses, 3m for others.
• Double-storey extensions: Up to 3m deep.
• Loft conversions: Up to 40m³ (terraced houses) or 50m³ (detached/semi-detached).
Can my neighbour stop me from building an extension?
Neighbours cannot stop your home extension if it follows planning regulations. However, under the Party Wall Act, they must be informed if work affects shared walls or boundaries. Resolving concerns through project management can prevent disputes.
What does it cost for a house extension?
The cost of building work depends on the extension type, materials, and location. A standard home extension typically costs between £30,000 and £100,000. We offer tailored solutions for new builds, renovations, and extensions to suit your budget.
