What to do if you can’t afford a House Extension

Are you thinking of extending your home? This property shows why a house extension isn’t always possible or necessary.
I was asked to advise a client who considered buying this house in England. They needed to change the layout and create two new bedrooms. Their original idea was to build a two storey extension, incorporating the existing garage. This wasn't affordable within their budget but a better idea might be.
