Are they daft? Street I live in ain't bad - not an 'estate' with crime and junkies, but one of the 'less sought after' council schemes in this small town. About half the houses have been bought from the council. I see extensions, porches, mono blocked driveways, loft conversions etc being built. Buying price is around £100k for a house in this street. I can see the point of monoblocking the front garden. Gives you a personal parking space and adds value to the house withot costing the earth, but are they going to get their money back for extensions? Not savvy about property, but I just can't see how building extensions to houses in a less than average council street with £100k properties is worth the hassle.

Can be factors other than money! Maybe it's their home and they like it there?
