Do you have a basement that you use as a dumping ground for all of things that you keep hold of 'just in case?' A basement is a prime location for freeing up liveable space given its location, usually close to all other living areas in the house. Ian Gibson Associates (Cumbria) Ltd have been helping people increase their liveable square footage for years, adding thousands on to the value of your home. In most cases, renovating your existing basement doesn't require planning permission and costs less than you think - comparable to that of a loft conversion but offering you more in the way of options as to what to do with the space.
