You've found a beautiful home that meets all your needs, except one... There's actually one bedroom missing. What now? Are you going to pass on the property? The number of bedrooms in a home often plays a role in deciding whether or not to buy it. Fortunately, you don't have to abandon the property immediately. You can check whether there's an option to create an extra bedroom. During a building inspection, the potential options for this can be discussed.
People looking for a new home naturally have a wish list. This often includes requirements regarding the size of the kitchen and living room, but certainly also regarding the minimum number of bedrooms. If there's one bedroom less than desired, this can definitely be a deal-breaker. However, in many homes, it's often quite easy to create an extra bedroom, ensuring the house meets all your needs. Therefore, when viewing a home with fewer bedrooms than desired, it's advisable to carefully review the layout. How can the house be rearranged to accommodate an extra bedroom?
Is there a very large bedroom? Then it might be possible to convert it into two smaller bedrooms. Is there an attic that is currently being used as a bedroom, or could be used as one? With the right dormer windows, two bedrooms can usually be created in an attic. In some cases, it's necessary to completely change the layout to create an extra bedroom. When this is necessary, it can be difficult to visualize it. A Homekeur advisor can advise you and tell you more about the possibilities for creating an extra bedroom on the upper floor or in the attic.
Sometimes it doesn't take much to create an extra bedroom. In other situations, it requires quite a bit of work. This, of course, also affects the cost. Many people wonder if it's worth the investment to create an extra bedroom. In the vast majority of cases, the answer is yes. Not only does it add a bedroom to your home, but in almost all cases, the property's value increases immediately thanks to the extra bedroom. It's important, however, that the layout remains practical.
