About Basements
Adding a basement to your home is wise for a number of reasons. Firstly a basement is a cheaper alternative to moving to a bigger home. You can add a whole new floor or larger to your existing home, even taking in natural light. You could use your
new basement space as a kitchen, study, baby room, office or all the above. Or maybe you always dreamed of having your own swimming pool, gym or home cinema?
Planning
Getting planning permission for a basement is much easlier then getting one for an extension. Normally planning authorities allow a small extension without the need for planning permission so many customers opt for a large basement under their garden linked to by a small extension. There is no easier way to double the size of your home.
Enviroment
Not only can basement take in natural sunlight but its also a fact that becuase your basement is underground it stays at a constant 12 degree centegrade. So its warm in the winter and cool in the summer and therefore easy on your heating bill.
