Double Storey Extensions: The Perfect Solution for Expanding Your Home with Get Rapid Plans in London

A double storey extension is an excellent way to transform your existing house into a spacious, dream home. For homeowners looking to increase living space, maximize property value, and maintain cost-efficiency, double storey extensions are a wise investment compared to the cost of moving to a larger property. At Get Rapid Plans, based in London, we specialize in delivering high-quality double storey extensions tailored to your needs, ensuring that the end result perfectly matches your vision.

Double storey extensions are increasingly becoming the go-to choice for homeowners in the UK. This is due to their numerous benefits, including maximizing living space, providing ample natural light, enhancing privacy, and offering the most value for your investment. A double storey extension can add significant square footage to your home, allowing for the creation of extra bedrooms, bathrooms, or multifunctional spaces such as a home office or playroom. This type of extension is particularly cost-effective because you only require one foundation and one roof, making it more economical compared to building two separate single-storey extensions.

Planning a double storey extension involves several considerations to ensure it complements your existing property and meets all your requirements. At Get Rapid Plans, we begin the process with a detailed consultation, where we discuss your vision, preferences, and budget. Understanding your needs is crucial to creating a design that enhances the aesthetic appeal of your home while providing functional benefits.

The planning phase also involves obtaining the necessary permissions and adhering to local regulations. Our team of experienced architects and planners in London are well-versed in the rules and guidelines for double storey extensions, ensuring a smooth approval process. We guide you through each step, from initial design concepts to final blueprints, making the entire experience hassle-free and efficient.

Why Choose a Double Storey Extension?

Choosing a double storey extension is a cost-effective way to maximize the space and value of your home. Unlike single storey extensions, a double storey extension allows you to double the usable space without needing a second set of foundations or a second roof, thereby reducing construction costs. It also allows for greater flexibility in terms of layout, enabling homeowners to create spacious open-plan living areas on the ground floor and additional private rooms on the upper floor.

The Benefits of Natural Light and Improved Privacy

Double storey extensions not only increase space but also improve natural lighting and privacy. By incorporating large windows, glass doors, or skylights into the design, more natural light flows into the living areas, creating a bright and inviting environment. Additionally, having extra rooms upstairs allows for greater privacy, making it easier to create secluded spaces away from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
