I'm looking at extending my existing house.
Its currently a 3 bed + 1 Bath free standing house and it will either become a
- 5 bed + 2 bath (going up)
- 4 bed + 2 bath (going out)
It is an older Victorian house with an extension already.
If I extend up, it will be sitting on top of the existing extension (concrete slab)
If I extend out, it will be an extension of 3m of the existing extension.
My question is, what is cheaper?
I was always under the impression that its cheaper to go out than to go up.
But a colleague at work who's currently extending their house (going up), has said its cheaper to go up than out.
