The current trend nowadays is to create extra space in the house by doing a single storey rear extension either with a flat or a pitched roof along with patio doors.
Most houses in the UK have capacity to extend to the rear and every homeowner has a right to extend upto a certain prescribed limit. Depending on the size of the extension, the homeowner may apply for permitted development or Planning permission.Doing a rear extension to your house can be a cost effective way to increase the area of your current home as well as its value.
