“Improve rather than move house”

The trend for improving your house rather than moving is more popular than ever in SURREY where the combination of high house prices, fees and stamp duty have made it more financially prudent to extend rather than move to obtain the space your growing family needs.

For example Horsell near Woking, a very sought after area for families due to the quality of local schools but also suffering from a lack of supply of properties, has seen a strong increase in extensions over the last few years.

HERITAGE ARCHITECTURE have assisted many local people to improve their homes to accommodate their growing families without having to go through the pain and expense of moving.

Over the last year HERITAGE have seen a significant upturn in the number of enquiries and this reflects the large increase in planning applications received by local authorities in and around the South East.

Recent reports have suggested up to a 38% increase in planning applications in some areas of London. HERITAGE have seen a 90% increase in the number of projects undertaken over the last 3 years and are currently experiencing an unseasonably large number of enquiries in 2016 and expect this trend to continue.
