Extension FAQs

Do I need planning permission for a house extension?

In many cases, no – small extensions often fall under permitted development, meaning you won’t need full planning permission as long as the design stays within size and height limits. For example, a single-storey rear extension can typically go up to 3–4 metres, and even 6–8 metres under certain conditions.
However, if your home is in a conservation area, is listed, or previous rights have been removed by your council (e.g. through an Article 4 direction), you’ll likely need planning permission. Always check with your local authority – and Lawrence Rand Property Services can handle this part for you.

Absolutely. A well-designed extension can add 10–20% to your home’s market value — often more in London and the South East.
Creating an extra bedroom or large kitchen-living space is especially valuable to buyers. Plus, it enhances your lifestyle while you live there — a win-win.

Yes, but expect some disruption. There will be noise, dust, and limited access to certain parts of the house. Most builders start around 8am, and parts of your home may be out of use during the work.
We do our best to keep the site tidy, contain mess, and minimise impact — but for larger projects, you may want to temporarily move out during key stages.

From start to finish, a typical extension takes 9 to 12 months, including design, planning and construction.
Planning and design can take 2–4 months, especially if you need permission or party wall agreements. The build itself usually takes 3–6 months, depending on complexity.
We’ll give you a clear schedule before we begin, and keep you updated throughout.
