Proposed changes to building regulations in 2010 could add thousands of pounds on to Conservatory Prices. Matthew Glover, the Managing Director of Conservatory Outlet, explains that people should buy now before these regulations come into force.
The construction industry says that proposals in the draft consultation for the 2010 version of Part L of the Building Regulations will make home extensions more expensive for people looking to invest in their property.
Consumers who are looking to build extensions could be forced to spend thousands more pounds improving the energy efficiency of the rest of their property under the new proposals. Matthew Glover believes the extra cost is likely to be around and additional £2000 per conservatory.
These new regulations will cover Conservatories for the first time and that means higher carbon reduction targets which would impose electric heating restrictions as well as floor, wall and glass design restrictions to make the conservatory more energy efficient.
Matthew Glover stated, “Conservatory Outlet build their conservatories to an extremely high standard, virtually complying with building regulations anyway. But the requirement to upgrade other areas of the property at the same time will undoubtedly add to the cost of the project.”
For those wishing to avoid the extra costs involved with the proposed regulations, then the only way to do so is to have their conservatory or extension built this year.
With the construction industry at below capacity due to the ongoing recession and housing crisis, there are some great Orangery and Conservatory Deals to be had. Conservatory Outlet offer a buy now and pay in 12 months finance solution, so people can have their conservatory now, but still take advantage of the lower 2009 prices.
Conservatory Outlet is a manufacturer of Double Glazing Windows, doors and conservatories with showrooms in Yorkshire, Lancashire, Cheshire, Cumbria, Shropshire, Mid Wales and South Wales.
