Moved home in 2017 into another 4 bed and has pre booked building regulations and conversion specialist before moving in and within 2 weeks job done 9k so now its a 5 bed.
Basically for 16k over 8 years ie £5 per day I have had an extra downstairs bedroom/playroom which is handy with kids and when family visits and is a great selling point for majority of buyers bar a small minority who still want a garage(these are perfectionists anyway and you probably would find more grief selling to that crowd!).
That's a great outcome. You managed to move house and not pay Stamp Duty / LBTT, legal fees, removals costs...

I suspect man maths is in full effect here
