Side Return Extension

Homeowners in London are always seeking to maximise the living space of their property, and a side return extension is a perfect way to achieve this objective.

Land is at a premium, and a side return extension is one of the most popular ways for homeowners to increase the internal living area of their home and add equity to their property.

As a result, the side return to a semi-detached house is one of the most common build projects in London, offering homeowners an efficient way to expand the living area of their home without losing valuable and usable garden space.

NHBC-registered building firm Lasting ltd has over 15 years of experience in building side return extensions for clients across the London area. We can help you expand your home and give you and your family a perfectly designed and executed living open-plan living space.

Design and Build Side Return Extensions in London

If you own a period terrace or semi-detached home in London, you’ll often have a narrow corridor along the side of your property. Whilst this space had its use in Victorian times, today, this area offers little use. As a result, many homeowners today choose to reclaim this area of land to increase their living space.

When choosing a reliable builder like Lasting ltd, we ensure your side extension project aligns with your expectations and lifestyle, promising an enhanced living experience.

Planning Permission for Side Return Extension

For many, venturing into a home extension project can seem daunting, especially when considering planning permissions. However, in many cases, you’ll find that planning permission for a side house extension in London is not always necessary.

Not Required: If your side extension falls under the Permitted Development Rights, you won’t need planning permission. This includes restrictions like single-storey rear extensions not exceeding 3 metres in depth for an attached or 4 metres for a detached house.
Required: Planning permission becomes mandatory if your property sits in a conservation area or if your extension will be near a road.

However, don’t worry about these regulations – Fittra is here to help. Our team provides comprehensive support with all planning permission and agreement matters.

Additionally, we offer robust liability insurance coverage of £5 million to give you that extra assurance. With Lasting ltd, your house side extension in London will be a hassle-free experience, backed by expert guidance at every step.

Cost of Side Return Extensions

Are you contemplating a side extension but wary about the costs? Let’s break it down for you.

The average cost of side return extension relies on various factors:

Size of the area to be extended

Specifications of the build and the interior finishes

Location of the build

For example, a small side return extension cost will naturally be less than a larger addition. The average side return extension cost in London is between £40,000 and £60,000.

It is important to remember that living space is at a premium in London. Many owners of terraced houses don’t have a large rear garden, which makes it impossible to build to the rear of the house.

Therefore, in many cases, the only solution is to build a side return extension terraced house. So a side return extension represents a very good investment, as it will add a lot of value to your home.
