The market this week in one line: base rate held at 3.75%, and house prices are close to flat (Nationwide has annual growth at just 1.8%). Here's what that means if you're feeling squeezed for space in Milton Keynes.

Moving doesn't get cheaper in a flat market. Stamp duty, agent fees, legal, surveys, removals, it's easily tens of thousands, and none of it buys you an extra room. Extending puts that money into actual space instead.

The best part of this job isn't the drawings.
It's the message that arrives about eight months after planning approval, a photo of a family sitting in a kitchen that didn't exist when we first met.
That's the whole point. 🏠

Thinking about extending next spring? Now is when to start.
A realistic timeline: feasibility and design (2–4 weeks), planning application (8 weeks minimum for a decision), building regulations and structural drawings (3–4 weeks), then builder selection and scheduling.
Start in September and you're realistically breaking ground in spring. Start in February and you're looking at late summer.
No pressure, just the honest maths.

The map, your coverage as proof
87 towns. 58 councils. From Milton Keynes to Manchester, Barking to Blackburn.
Every pin on our project map is a home someone decided to improve rather than leave.
Whatever your local council's quirks are, chances are we've dealt with them before.

A question for Milton Keynes homeowners 🏠
If you could change ONE thing about how your house works. Not how it looks, how it works. what would it be?
Kitchen too small? Nowhere to work? Only one bathroom? Nowhere for the kids' stuff?
Genuinely curious. Reply below.

Most people can't read a floor plan. That's not a criticism.
Why would you be able to?
So we don't ask you to. Every feasibility study includes a 3D model of your extension, so you can see exactly what you're approving before anything is submitted, let alone built.
What you sign off is what gets built.

Quick myth-bust for anyone sitting on an extension idea 👇

You may have seen headlines about "bigger extensions" and "new 2026 rules." Read the small print:
The permitted development rules for house extensions haven't changed. (The one new rule in force this year is about solar panels.) So there's nothing to wait for, if your project fits the rules, it fits now.

And it's a sensible market to plan in: the Bank of England held rates at 3.75% and house-price growth has slowed to its lowest in nearly two years. Moving still means agent fees and stamp duty you rarely recover in a flat market, improving puts that money into the home you actually keep.

Bletchley. A family who wanted one thing: a kitchen big enough that nobody had to eat standing up.
The result: a 36m² kitchen, a front porch, the garage turned into usable space, and a gym outbuilding in the garden.
The whole scheme designed together, so it works as one home rather than four separate add-ons bolted on over the years.

Extending in Milton Keynes? A few things worth knowing before you start.
MK's estate layouts, plot boundaries and the grid road landscaping strips create planning considerations you won't find in a generic online guide. What's routinely approved in one estate can be refused two streets away.

We're based on Silbury Boulevard and we work with MK City Council planning regularly.
