Hi everyone! Planning a bungalow conversion near Guildford area

[Bob88]

Starting my first major project trying to extend a 60s bungalow in the surrounding Guildford area and make it more of a family home with cottage charm but modern performance! Excited to get stuck into everything in the new year and love the invaluable resource that is this website!

Welcome!

Marvellous.

 

The most important thing when renovating an old bungalow is to immediately bulldoze it.

Don't listen to him, nobody uses bulldozers any more! Welcome to THE forum for people like us.

Hi and welcome. 
 

Are you aware of the zero VAT rule, if you decide to use either a bulldozer or an excavator to knock it down?

I have seen some OK extra floor conversions on bungalows, but if the current layout needs much modification it is better to start afresh.
