How to Afford A Larger Living Area
Increasing house prices are preventing people from moving to larger properties which means they may not be able to afford a house with as much room as they need. An outdoor building, such as a log cabin, can help extend the living area and solve this problem of lack of space.
Bedford, UK (PRWEB) April 2, 2006 --
It is always handy to have a little extra space inside a house and with the increasing number of people now opting to work from home there is a high demand for spare room in the home that many houses just can't accommodate for. Moving to a larger property may well seem the perfect answer to the problem but unfortunately spare room is fast becoming a luxury that most people just can't afford.
Government reports show that over the last three years house prices have risen by over 20%*, and it is highly likely that this will continue to increase. Moving house may just not be possible for most people, and many may well be forced in to buying smaller properties because they just can't afford a larger one or the costs that come with it. Moving house is a stressful enough time as it is without all the added financial worries of inflation.
But moving house is not the only option to solving the problem of lack of space in the home. Instead of moving house it is worth considering adding to the existing area to extend living space. This can easily be achieved with an outdoor building such as a log cabin or garden office. For a house costing £260,000 home owners will be expected to pay out 3% in stamp duty, meaning an added cost of £7800. A log cabin or garden office can be bought for a lot cheaper than just the amount the government get paid in stamp duty, allowing people to remain in their current homes surrounded by their friends and neighbours.
An easy to assemble log cabin kit is a much simpler, quicker and definitely more affordable way of creating extra space than building extensions, conservatories or loft conversions. Installing a log cabin in the garden means gaining an extra room without the upheaval or mess that comes with building work, (and it costs a lot less too).
Log cabins are attractive and versatile buildings that can be used for many different purposes. A log cabin would make the ideal working environment as a conveniently placed garden office situated away from the distractions of the home; and working in a separate building from the house means people can still leave the office and can go home to relax and unwind without being surrounded by their work. A garden office offers many benefits and helps free up what could be much needed space in the house.
A log cabin is perfectly suited to accommodate many different uses such as a studio, workshop, games room, spa room, home gym or garden party room as well as a private home office or extra storage space.
