The age-old dilemma for British homeowners has always been: is it better to move house or stay put and extend? As we navigate the property market of 2026, that question has never been more relevant—or more complex.
We are delighted to share that our very own Simon Rix was recently sought out by major national outlets, including Yahoo Finance and AOL, to provide expert commentary on this very topic.
The Great Debate: 2026 Property Trends
With the costs of moving—including stamp duty, estate agent fees, and the sheer stress of a chain—reaching new heights, more people than ever are looking at their current homes with fresh eyes.
In the featured articles, Simon discusses the strategic advantages of "improving rather than moving." Whether it’s a loft conversion to add a much-needed home office or a kitchen-diner extension to create a social hub, the right planning can significantly increase both your quality of life and your property's value.
"Deciding to extend isn't just about adding square footage; it's about unlocking the hidden potential of your current postcode," says Simon.
Why Planning Matters
As highlighted in the coverage, the secret to a successful extension lies in the preparation. Navigating the UK’s planning system can be daunting, but with the right expertise, homeowners can avoid the common pitfalls that Simon discusses in his interviews.
At Planix, we pride ourselves on making that process seamless. From initial feasibility to securing that all-important planning permission, we help you turn the advice Simon shares in the national press into a reality for your home.
