Key Facts & Figures (UK Averages)

💰 Estimated Cost

  • £1,800 - £2,500+ VAT per m² (depending on size, complexity, and finishes).
  • Generally more expensive than single-aspect extensions due to increased structural work and size.
  • Remember to budget for professional fees (architect, structural engineer) and a 10-20% contingency!

📈 Value Added

  • One of the most effective extensions for adding value, significantly increasing appeal and market price.
  • Can dramatically improve the functionality and desirability of period properties, especially Victorian homes.

📏 Average Added Space

  • Can add between 15-60m² of space, depending on the size of your house and garden.
  • Wraps around two sides of your home, typically rear and side, creating an L-shaped extension.

🗓️ Planning Permission

  • Often Required: Due to their size and impact, wraparound extensions frequently require full planning permission.
  • Full Planning Application: Typically takes 8-10 weeks for a decision.
  • Overall Project Timeline (Design to Completion): Can be longer due to complexity, ranging from 12-18 months.
