Terraced house rear extension in Antrim
For homes in Antrim, a terraced house rear extension is often the simplest way to gain space without moving. Rear and side return extensions for terraces, with access through the house and two neighbours. We take it from survey to completion certificate.
Antrim sits in County Antrim, with postcode districts including BT41. Terraced streets make up much of the housing in parts of County Antrim, and most rear extensions here go in without side access.

Do you need planning permission for a terraced house rear extension in Antrim?
Planning for a terraced house rear extension in Antrim follows the Northern Irish householder rules.
In Northern Ireland the Planning (General Permitted Development) Order (Northern Ireland) 2015 allows a single-storey rear extension of up to 3 metres on an attached house or 4 metres on a detached house, no higher than 4 metres, with eaves no higher than 3 metres within 2 metres of a boundary. Building control approval from the council is still required.
Northern Ireland has no Party Wall Act. Shared-wall work relies on agreement with your neighbour and the general law, so we put access and protection arrangements in writing before starting.
Conservation areas, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and listed buildings restrict permitted development in Northern Ireland. We check your house's planning history and any conservation area before drawing, so the route is clear before you spend on plans.
What are homes in Antrim like to extend?
Antrim has terraces near the centre, semis on the edges and many detached houses and bungalows in the surrounding countryside, where plots are often generous.

FAQ
Terraced house rear extension questions in Antrim
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.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Antrim house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Will my terrace be in a conservation area?
Many Victorian terraces are. Your council's map shows it; we check at the survey.
Do I need a party wall agreement?
Northern Ireland has no Party Wall Act; we agree any shared-wall work with your neighbour in writing.
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.
Can I get a price without a visit?
Our online guide-price tool gives a range in a couple of minutes. A written price needs a survey.
