One of the most time-consuming aspects of buying a conservatory is often the amount of time you have to wait for your local authority to give you and your chosen installer the relevant planning permission you need to get started. If required, it can sometimes take weeks and require you to go through various amounts of red-tap.
For many this will no longer be the case as the government has recently confirmed that those installing conservatories in Ashford, conservatories in Faversham or conservatories in Gravesend up to 8 meters in size will no longer need to apply for planning permission. This will come as a huge relief to those currently looking for a home extension of this type as it will quicken the process and enable you to get your conservatory installed faster than previously.
Part of the reason why this relaxation in the law has been introduced is to encourage homeowners to improve their properties as opposed to moving as the government is well aware of the difficulties those who are trying to sell their home face. Prior to this announcement there had already been an increase in those looking to improve rather than move and the conservatory has been the preferred solution for most.
You can easily understand why this is the case as a conservatory can massively increase the size of your home and bring it within touching distance of the back garden and/or patio area. Fitted with a set of bi-folding doors it provides you with a perfect entry point into the outdoors as and when you fancy leaving the cosy luxury of your conservatory.
One of the other main benefits of owning a conservatory is that it will add to overall value of your home which comes in very handy if you reach a stage where you want to vacate the property for pastures new and secure the best possible sale price. Buyers are always looking for a home with that certain something that sets them apart from all other properties in the neighbourhood and a conservatory can most certainly act as that stand-out feature.
A conservatory will come in handy for so many different uses to such an extent that any aspirations you had to move home may be completely turned around all thanks to your new purchase; it often has such a positive effect on people. The day you buy a conservatory will be a day that neither you, nor your family ever forget.
