A home office is the dream of many homeowners, but how do you ensure that you are adding value without paying over the odds for, essentially, transforming a room of your home? If you are thinking about having your very own home office extension, here are some tips:

• Build the structure away from the home. This could mean building a separate annex, or it could mean building a regular extension. Your family will love the extra space and you will get more peace and quiet this way.
• Choose a material. If you want something rustic, you could have a wooden home office. If you prefer something modern, think about building a brick structure, either on its own or attached to your existing home.
• Make sure you have the right planning permission. You will usually need planning permission of some kind to extend a home or to build a new structure on your land.
