Property Extensions or a New Build?
Property Extensions
Space
Older homes tend to be larger than their modern alternatives, with noticeably more spacious rooms and gardens. As such, homeowners in Chichester and the neighboring areas who opt for property extensions can still benefit from ample space in the garden even after our building company completes construction.
Unpack and Make Memories
A brand-new home offers a blank canvas for self-expression. With fresh paintwork, tiling, bathrooms and a kitchen all of your choosing, you will immediately feel at home in your new surroundings. In fact, after our new house builders complete your project, you won’t need to spend time on all-consuming projects and fixes. You can simply unpack your belongings and start making memories.
Community
Homeowners in Chichester living in long-established neighbourhoods are more likely to have a surrounding community. Our building company recognises the appeal of having close-knit neighbours who look out for one another, not to mention familiar amenities like local shops, restaurants and pubs. As such, property extensions make the ideal solution for preserving this sense of community while increasing living space.
Modern Living
Our new house builders create high-spec properties with the latest fixtures, fittings and technology. Be it smart home features, open-plan layouts or sleek, modern finishes, new builds make the ideal choice for those who truly appreciate contemporary living over the traditional.
Character
Older properties, especially period homes, have undoubted character and charm. Whether it’s fireplaces in every room in Victorian houses, the sash windows of Georgian homes or the stained glass panels found in many 1930s properties, homeowners become attached to unique original features. Property extensions completed by a reputable building company allow you to solve space issues that blend seamlessly with this character and charm.
Lower Bills
The properties we construct as new house builders in Chichester and the neighbouring areas must comply with the current UK Building Regulations. This means that new builds have a much greater energy efficiency than older homes. Data from Energy Performance Certificates indicates more than 80% of new builds have the highest energy ratings of A or B. This compares to only 2.2% for existing properties.Future Build Specialist Ltd offers advice and quotations on property refurbishments, extensions and new builds free of charge and without obligation.
