There's no need to move out, just move up...

HOUSE PRICE NEWS -Checking out house price news can be a bit depressing. The headlines of 2011 have already been filled with apparently contradictory tales of lowering house prices on one hand and increasing asking prices on the other. Recently Rightmove.com said that the early Spring market bounce has seen asking prices increase by 3%, but of course this is only the asking price, not the selling price.

But maybe it’s not so bad locally. When listening to reports of the housing market nationally it is important to remember that these figures take the average from across the country. In places like Cambridgeshire, and in particular in and around Cambridge, we are still experiencing high levels of demand for housing with prices remaining relatively stable.  Says Alex Plant, Chief Executive of Cambridgeshire Horizons

All said and done it’s still not an easy time to buy and sell, perhaps there is sense in well chosen home improvements.  Many people are taking advantage of the low interest rates to extend their homes. Building a loft conversion can prove very effective in many ways.  Why move when you can expand upwards converting dark and dusty lofts into beautiful airy living spaces.

It doesn’t have to involve loads of paper work an easy way to check out the idea is by using Planning Portal a Government operated website that manages conditional circumstances with in England and Wales about planning permission. Planning portal is one of the most highly highly recognised tools for accessing information regarding whether planning permission in needed or not, might be worth checking it out. There is also some more information in the loft conversion section of our website.
