Get Your dream extension

​Four weeks back I took a LEAP and removed 90% of the text on my sales letters which go out to prospective clients in an attempt to save people time reading and also 'test the water' with  their knowledge of how these SR Codes can be used.

Do you know how they can be used?

From your phone, activate your camera and point it at this QR Code and click yes on the pop up that will appear and you will automatically be taken on a journey.

I made this sales letter as simple as I could, but the proof is in the pudding and in my case the NUMBERS that tell me how many 'hits' the target page has been viewed.

This TEST did not work out this time.  Maybe one to use in the future!

Please add your comments below it would be great to see your comments on this?

The Federation of Master Builders (FMB) have published the following document on their website which could assist you in deciding which home improvements to carry out next on your home.

Its a huge dilemma people face when they need more space.

The average house in Brentwood, Billericay, Basildon & Wickford at the moment is £409,000. 


For argument purposes lets say you were selling your home at £320,000 which would incur fees….

* Selling Agent fee example 1% (£3200) or £600 with good Online Agent such as Urban Homes (personal recommendation following my own experiences)
* Legal fees Sell&Buy £1500
* Moving company £1000

* Stamp Duty of ‘AVERAGE house price as detailed is £10,450
* Legals (as above)
* Mortgage Arrangement fee £1500
Total £17,650
(Note that Stamp Duty fees changed and should be reviewed on your next purchase)

Not forgetting monthly increases in regular expenses such as Home Insurance, Life Insurance, Utility, Council Tax and Mortgage etc.
Even a small redecoration or new bathroom refit and this house move will cost you over £20,000 and its very likely you’ll need more.

House Price averages (July 2017)
     £537,800 Brentwood
     £499,500 Billericay
     £336,200 Wickford
     £263,000 Basildon

OR you could stick to what you know in a home and street you already love, using permitted development rights you could extend your home without the need of seeking planning permission.

If you are planning to extend your home - Read-On...
Before contacting a good architect it would be a good idea to sketch as many ideas and drafts as you can as you know your home better than anyone; this will also assist your architect to visualise what plans/ideas you have.
Also look at other homes to see if you can use similar ideas - or enhance them to suite your own requirements. 
Don't forget to add your own creativity inside in and/or outside.


1. You'll need an Architect to produce your drawings. Some may require planning approval - This can be established with some research. 
2. If structural walls are being removed a Structural Engineers report will be needed.
3. Once you have the Drawings & Structural Report you will be in a good position to approach good local builders to provide you with quotations on completing the work.
4. Your planning authority is Basildon Council as you may already know, their website http://www.basildon.gov.uk/article/686/Planning-Services will be of use where needed.
