Seven Questions Before Changing Your Home - Free England & Wales Guide

Before you spend money on plans or commit to an extension, answer the seven questions that reveal the real household problem, the likely unknowns and the most useful next step.

Start your home project with the right question

Most expensive changes begin as a simple assumption: "we need an extension" or "we should knock this wall out". This one-page Hunter Ellis guide helps you pause, define the real problem and choose the first piece of evidence worth buying.

You will consider:

- the daily problem behind the idea;

- whether the existing home could work harder;

- what the change must not make worse;

- the property facts that could alter the route;

- the separate England and Wales approval context;

- the whole budget rather than the build price alone; and

- the smallest next step that reduces the biggest uncertainty.
