    Best thing to do is check out local houses which have had a similar extension and figure out the difference between them and what you have. If its more than the cost of building it then its probably worthwhile.
  • As above, do some research into the local housing market so you can get the gist of it yourself and then speak to a local estate agent to see what their view is.
