Why basement?
For any reason you need more space?
You have few possibilities. You can buy bigger house, you can make an extension or to use your garret. This is a dilema - what of this three things to chose.
The decisions is simple: You just need a basement.
You can ask: why exactly basement?
The answer is : because there's a lot of advantages
The space in the garret is limited and not always suitable for what you may need.
The extension behind your house can take from you the space that you need for rest and games in your garden. Moving to bigger house can cost you a lot and iт's not very sure investition. You will ask: why? For example lets see how much will cost for a family to move from a house worth J400,000 to the other one, worth J600,000. To have more rooms and more comfort, you already pay J200,000. But this is not all.
You are paid also:
- Stamp duty - J24,000
- Estate agency fee - J10,000
- Solicitors fee - J3,000
- Removals - J2,000
Total: J39,000
Return on investment: J0
Except that it's good to know that the building of the basement in your existing house is good and rentable business for you. For example: You live in the house which worth J600,000. The living space is about 120 sq m in two storeys. Every floor worth J300,000. When you build the basement, which will cost you about J130,000 you can imagine the difference in the prices of the floor:
- your two storey house - J600,000
- one floor - J300,000
- the new basement - J130,000
- the difference in the price : J170,000
The possibility to have spacial, bright and dry place under your house is really realizable. You can have all that just when you build an basement under your house, front garden or driveway. And then you can have extra bedroom, study, playroom, shower room, nanny flat or sport room.
