Adding a conservatory to your home makes for an exciting time, so exciting that many people are forgetting to inform their home insurance provider of their new addition. Research conducted by moneysupermarket.com has found that 26 per cent of UK homeowners do not update their insurer on changes like loft conversions and extensions, despite it being an essential requirement.
2 per cent of those polled failed to inform their insurer for fear of their premiums rising but this will only usually occur if the home improvements carried out increase the value of a property by as much as 10,000 pounds.
It makes sound financial sense to advise your home insurance company of the installation of conservatories in Margate, conservatories in Rochester and conservatories in Tunbridge Wells as should you need to call upon them in future it will avoid you being hit in the pocket by any nasty surprises.
Conservatories are in huge demand nowadays due to the reluctance of people to move home. The chances of someone being able to attract a sale in many parts of the country are slim to none at the moment due to a widespread lack of buyers in the market. This is the catalyst for many people then deciding to improve their home so as to make it more valuable and spacious and a conservatory fits the bill perfectly.
When committing to buying a conservatory as well as the responsibility you have to make sure that your insurer knows about it, you must also make sure that you have the relevant planning permission. The home improvement company you choose to take care of your conservatory installation will usually deal with any planning permission requirements on your behalf but just make sure that your local authority gives you the thumbs up first. Failing to obtain planning permission could result in you having to pull down the structure at a later date, a very expensive mistake!
Once planning permission has been granted you can then enjoy watching it being built before your very eyes and await its completion so that you and your family can get accustomed to living in a brand new luxury location. For those who like to get more involved in the design and planning of their conservatory choose to go for the bespoke option as it allows you to work together with the installation company.
Prepare meticulously for your conservatory and you can expect long-term rewards.
