Adding on to an existing home may be a good option if you want to invest and customize without building from scratch. However, there are potential drawbacks to consider.
It Will Alter the Look.
Careful planning with a qualified architect is essential to make sure the addition matches the rest of the house. To reduce the visibility of the addition, one can build onto the back of the property.
It Will Take Time.
Depending on the size and schedule, the project may take weeks or months to finish. Unexpected delays and unreliable contractors can lengthen the process.
It Should be an Investment.
Financing an addition with a home equity line of credit or a new mortgage can be a smart decision if the value gained is greater than the cost.
It Will Increase Taxes.
The assessment after the addition is complete will raise property taxes, so it is important to estimate the value of the home with the addition and calculate the new tax rate.
It Should Save Energy.
Adding on can be the perfect time to use energy-efficient fixtures and construction that will reduce energy consumption.
