The property market in London went through some major changes in 2015 with the introduction of changes to stamp duty and prices continuing to rise. The situation has limited the options for some property owners who would typically be looking to move up the ladder and purchase homes with more space. People are now increasingly likely to invest in expanding and improving their home rather than moving. This creates some fantastic opportunities for architects in the capital, giving them the chance to create solutions for a wide array of different settings and criteria.

Extension design has evolved substantially over the past few decades. Traditionally, a great deal of effort would be made to blend the addition in and make it look as much like the original as possible. Now it is popular to add modern extensions on homes from various periods, creating a unique combination of the traditional and the contemporary.

Glass has become a central element of many designs, particularly on properties that have a great garden to take advantage of. The material allows plenty of natural light to enter the new part of the building, creating a connection between the interior and exterior and making the property seem larger and more open.

Extensions can be designed to suit any budget and can add plenty of value to a property if the work is completed to a very high standard. Extensions may require permission, particularly in conservation areas and on homes with listed status.
