Is it cheaper to extend externally or reconfigure the internal structure?

Question

We are extending to the side of our property. We have the option of either having a larger extension OR a smaller extension but reconfiguring a couple of load bearing walls in order to create the layout we need. Obviously we want to make sure we can afford this before we submit planning permission. Generally speaking, which is likely to be the cheaper option?

In my opinion, the best way to add value and lifestyle quality would  be an external extension

Hannah · Answer

I would extend externally as it will give more room and then you can do inside bit by bit

Sabin · Answer

it might be the same but if you extend you get extra space

Lucan · Answer

based on the intention or purpose, for adding the extra space, to the existing. sometimes it can run in your favour which, is good but! how much room one's needs is based on the outcome which, one's needs, so! to have peace of mind you. need to think about what will be occupying the space or the environment whenever it's up on running.

Jason · Answer

depending on how much bigger you want the extension. An extension will put money on your property but it's up to you they will both end up roughly the same coast

Generally speaking, it would be more expensive to reconfigure load-bearing walls.
