The cost-of-living crisis has meant many young people are struggling to save enough money to get on the property ladder and are being forced to move back to their parents.
So, if your kids are returning home, it might be worth considering building a wooden conservatory onto your house where they can have their own personal space.
Thanks to steep mortgage rates and strict lending criteria, those in their 20s are finding it increasingly difficult to buy a home of their own. Consequently, more and more are returning to their family house to live rent-free for a few months and save up enough money to boost their deposit.
However, having lived away for several years, it can be extremely difficult to move back home without any challenges.
Some people opt for building an outhouse for their adult children, so they can have their own space away from the main hub of the house. However, this can be costly, especially when adding in plumbing for a bathroom and kitchen, and electricity.
Therefore, the next option is to build a conservatory and create an area where your child can have their own bedroom and living space. This gives them a bit more independence as well as making them feel as though they have moved on from living in their old childhood bedroom, particularly if they are moving in with their partner.
It also means they are close to the kitchen and front door, so they can come and go as they please without disturbing the rest of the household.
