Is this a lot of money for not much gain?

[Indecisivelurcher]

H & I are really struggling to decide what to do here. We are in a fortunate position to be able to do our house up. We plan on staying here 10yrs. Benefits of this proposal are solving issue v dark dining area and giving us more room for table, replace knackered flat roof with smart new one with skylight, again bringing in more light, and replacing unreasonably cold /hot conservatory with usable space. But, it's a lot of money to not add any floor space...

@nameychange thank you for your consideration!
My mum suggested removing the wall you've shown with the red wiggle. It's in the mix.
I'm not sure about the changes to the living room and the front of the house, we don't have any 'issues' there so feels a bit like messing with the one thing that we don't need to mess with!
We've already got glazing, insulation, carpets, wallpaper stripping Ave a new driveway going on, I am not sure o want to mess with my decent floor and comfortable living room 😬

Tbh it's extending in place of the conservatory that's costing the money, not moving the toilet. So if we forgot that we could do this. It won't be as wow. But would be half the price or less than. Even with a warm roof on the conservatory.

What about something like one of these?

You need love it or list it to turn up....

Tough one but purely from a financial pov, it doesn't make sense to spend 40k to sell in 10 years with, max, a 20k profit. Why not live with as is and stick all the money in premium bonds for the move in a decade?

The weird light gives me migraines and makes me feel miserable, when it's bright sun outside and so dark in here we still need lights on. But point noted because we can do cheaper options.

I really do! Or your home made perfect. Who doesn't love a bench seat with inbuilt storage...

It looks good. I think if you're going to be in the house that long it's worth it for improved liveability. It's not all about improving the value of your house it's about making it work better for your family.
