The housing market at the moment is very up and down. Most people are deciding to stay put rather than move so for those that have a house up for sale are finding it very difficult to sell.

For those that are staying put but still need a bigger house are getting planning permission to build an extension. This is what I’ve recently done. My house is only a 2 bedroom terrace and it did only have a lounge with no-where to put a dining table. But with planning permission granted and a few months of living in dust and the freezing cold I now have a very stunning new lounge and dining room and an extra fifteen grand put on the house – crackin!
