Homes in the Scottish Borders

In Scotland many families extend bungalows and semis, while tenement flats bring shared ownership of roofs and walls that needs agreeing early.

What does a wraparound extension involve?

Because it removes two external walls, a wraparound needs careful structural design and a good plan for the corner where the steels meet. We design, apply for any permissions, build and finish the shell, and can fit the kitchen as part of the same contract.

How much should I budget for a wraparound extension?

Use these ranges to budget for wraparound extensions; the survey turns them into a fixed price for the agreed specification.

Wraparound extensions	Guide price incl. VAT
Standard specification	£3,400 to £3,800 per m²
Good specification	£3,800 to £4,250 per m²
High specification	£4,250 to £4,700 per m²

What approvals does a wraparound extension need in Scotland?

Projects in Scotland need a building warrant from the council before any building work starts, and a completion certificate once it is finished. Planning permission is a separate decision. The Party Wall etc. Act does not apply in Scotland; shared walls are governed by title deeds and the law of the tenement where relevant.

Scotland has its own householder permitted development rules, and small single-storey rear extensions are often covered.

What should I think about before starting?

The corner steel connection is the critical detail and is designed by a structural engineer.
An open-plan space this size needs a heating plan, often underfloor heating.
