Is extending in Boscombe a good investment?

Yes. Boscombe's regeneration means property values are rising. Extending now locks in lower build costs while the area's value trajectory is upward. A well-designed extension can add 10–20% to a Boscombe property's value.

Are there conservation areas in Boscombe?

Boscombe Spa has a conservation area covering parts of the seafront and surrounding streets. Most residential streets in wider Boscombe are not designated, so standard PD rules apply.
