Loft Conversion vs Home Extension – What’s Better for Your London Property?

In fast-moving areas like Camden, Mill Hill, and Totteridge, homeowners often face the same challenge — how to get more space without moving.

Two of the most popular solutions are loft conversions and home extensions. But which one gives you better value?

Loft Conversions – Smart Use of Existing Space

Loft conversions are usually quicker to build and cost-effective. They work especially well for:

     

      • Extra bedrooms

      • Home offices

      • Ensuite bathrooms

    They typically fall under permitted development, making approvals easier and faster.

    Home Extensions – Full Custom Living

    Ground-floor extensions (rear or side return) allow for:

       

        • Open-plan kitchens

        • Dining rooms

        • Utility spaces or family zones

      They require more planning but give you full control over layout and design.

      Which Option Adds More Value?
