This is a bit of a finance / property question. We live in a 3 bedroom victorian terrace in an area we love, which has seen house prices rocket since we moved in (not because of us I hasten to add!) We have 2 DC who are under 2 (not planning on any more). The primary schools where we are are really good, secondary not so much (inner city london).
I've recently come into a bit of money which is currently sitting in the bank. Our house would be greatly improved with the addition of a garden office (we both work from home) and the side return extension. If we did these it would use all the money that I have come into.
We love where we are but are constantly thinking about whether we should move a bit further out to get more space in the future. The problem is, in London you don't actually get THAT much more space unless you can afford a lot more.
So my rambling question is...Would it be worth us doing the improvements, even if we decide to move in say 5 years time. Will we always get that money back on the value of the property?
