We are now stuck in our small 2 bed house with dc2 on the way.
Whilst we know that we can't really improve upstairs space (can't covert loft and extending would mean completely moving almost every room) we think that if we add a conservatory at least we'll have some more living space-eg at the moment we can only fit 3 round our kitchen table, so if we had a table out there we could all sit round it.
Will it add the amount we spend on it iyswim? We dp and bil would do as much of the work as they could (bil is a builder but they live miles away and are also doing loads to their house atm so might be limited) to keep the cost down.
Our worry is that it will make the next couple of years more comfortable but we will still need to move as soon as we do and to do it we will need to use our savings which would have gone into the new house so really we need it to add value to the house.
I know without knowing what the house/area is like it is hard to answer but generally does it add value?
(sorry for the ramble btw!)
