|---|---|
| 3 m wide × 4 m deep (12 m²) | £21,000–£34,000 |

Your written price follows a measured survey and an agreed design, so it reflects your house, not an average.
Do you need planning permission for a bungalow rear extension in Viewpark?
The planning route for a bungalow rear extension in Viewpark is set by Scotland's householder rules and your council.
In Scotland a single-storey rear extension can be permitted development under Class 1A: eaves no higher than 3 metres and an overall height of 4 metres, and where any part is within 1 metre of a boundary it can project no more than 3 metres on a terraced house or 4 metres on other houses. The rights do not apply in conservation areas, and a building warrant is still needed before work starts.
Scotland has no larger-extension prior approval route; extensions beyond permitted development need a planning application.
Classes 1A and 1B do not apply in conservation areas, and listed buildings need listed building consent. Before any drawing we look up the property's history with the council, because earlier extensions and removed rights change the answer.
What are homes in Viewpark like to extend?
Post-war semis and terraces are common around Viewpark, and many have room for a single-storey rear extension within Class 1A limits.

FAQ
Bungalow rear extension questions in Viewpark
How much does a bungalow rear extension cost in Viewpark?
As a guide, £1,760–£2,850 per square metre including VAT for a standard specification. For example, 3 m wide × 4 m deep (12 m²): about £21,000–£34,000 at that rate. Your written price follows the survey.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Viewpark house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Is a bungalow extension cheaper?
The rates are similar per square metre; roof work can add a little.
Can I live at home while the extension is built?
Usually yes. Most of the work is outside until the back wall is opened near the end, and that stage is screened off.
How long does a rear extension take to build in Viewpark?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
Who will build my extension?
Vetted building teams working under contract to us. Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd for the design and the build.
