If you’re strapped for space in your home but you have a garage that you don’t use, the answer to your problems could be right in front of you.<\/p>\n

A garage conversion could give you that extra space you need to make your home more comfortable and more valuable. And if your garage is attached to your kitchen, what better use for it than a dining room?<\/p>\n

Read on to find out the advantages of converting your garage and why a dining room could be the best option.<\/p>\n

Increase your home’s value<\/h2>\n

These days, new builds are getting smaller and space is a sought-after feature. Converting your garage may seem counter-intuitive, but garages are becoming less and less of a must-have for buyers. You could increase the value of your home by more than you spend on the work.<\/p>\n

You might not need planning permission<\/h2>\n

If you have an attached garage then you might not need planning permission to convert it into a dining room. However, if you were to build an extension to create a dining room, that’s another story. It could save you money on fees. Check our guide on planning permission for garage conversions and also with your local authority<\/a> to see the rules and regulations.<\/p>\n

It’s much cheaper than an extension<\/h2>\n

An extension<\/a>, depending on the size and work involved, could set you back \u00a330,000<\/strong>. But convert your garage and you’re looking at somewhere between \u00a39-11,000<\/strong>. That means that you’ll have much more money to spend on the interior – after all, that’s the part you and your family will enjoy the most.<\/p>\n

So have you decided whether the best use for your garage conversion is a dining room? If you’re still not sure, take a look at our guides on the other uses for your garage conversion. Whatever your decision, you could end up with a fantastic space for all the family to enjoy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
