One of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to increase the amount of available living space in your home is to find a contractor who specialises in garage conversions in Derbyshire. Cellar conversions in Derbyshire are another great way to add space to your home, thereby increasing its market value.

In today’s depressed housing market, homeowners are motivated to utilize the available space in their home to the maximum they possibly can. Increasing the space available in your home is also a great way to add to the market value of a house, making the task of selling your home an easier one. If your house has an integral garage, one way accomplishing this is to hire a contractor who is experienced in performing garage conversions in Derbyshire.

Integral garages are garages that are built in to the structure of the main house, as opposed to separate free-standing garages. A good number of integral garages are attached to the house along the kitchen wall, which makes garage conversions in Derbyshire a perfect way to expand the size of your kitchen, or even add a separate dining area to a home that has an eat-in kitchen. Other ideas for garage conversions in Derbyshire are adding a family room or den, a guest bedroom, or for those who either have a home-based business or who frequently bring work home from the office, your old garage can be the perfect location for building a home office.

Cellar conversions in Derbyshire offer another option to increase the amount of space available in your home. An unfinished basement is often a waste of valuable living space, being used for little else besides storage and maybe a laundry area. But with cellar conversions in Derbyshire, you can easily make use of this space and turn your cellar into a great game room, or even a mini-apartment for a college-bound child who is ready for more privacy, but not quite ready to leave home. Converting your cellar to a more useable living pace is also a great option for self-employed homeowners, giving you a place to build your office away from the noise and commotion of the rest of the household without having to leave your home at all. However, if you do want to convert your cellar into a day-to-day living space, it’s a good idea to find a contractor who specializes in cellar conversions in Derbyshire, as basements are prone to dampness and will require specialized waterproofing in order to keep them dry and comfortable.

No matter what your ideas are for utilizing the excess space in your garage or cellar, any of these options are great ways to upgrade your living space either for your own benefit, or to make your home more attractive to potential buyers if you’re thinking about putting it on the market in the near future.
