Loft Conversion or Side Return? Not sure what's better value

[lulu]

Hello,

Just wanted to get some advice on this. We moved into a Victorian Terrace with an existing loft conversion. It's not a dormer and we have now found out the conversion has a number of issues because it was done on the cheap. We have looked into getting it corrected. We also got a quote for a side return. We can't afford to get both done but wondered where the money would be best spent. At present we have one child so space isn't a huge issue. Is having a larger communal living area a better investment than having a larger bedroom with a bigger ensuite?

Has anyone been in a similar position. Would appreciate your views

Extra bedrooms tend to add more value, provided they are of a decent size and configuration...

You need to consider how long you will stay in your property, as money is not always the only thing to consider. Quality of life is worth a great deal. How do you live? Do you entertain a lot? Are you considering getting an au pair?

Hi, at the moment we have one child and don't entertain that often. However that's primarily to do with the current state of the living space...
