"9. Invest in a skip: The cheapest and most effective way to increase your living space might be to decrease the amount of clutter in your home. You may not need to build that extension after all"

Better still take all that clutter to a local car boot sale and the £200 raised will offset the increase in the first months new mortgage payment now that fixed rates are coming to an end - this will provide valuable breathing space to scramble around looking for a cheaper deal prior to re-posession

Take out heavy life insurance, then top yourself. Get your spouse to spend the money on an extension.

Why do you need to bother adding value to your house? Can you suggest ways to add value to my shoes or my sandwiches too? Ulitmately the sure-fire way to add value to your house is to spend even more money on it in the first place. Does that make you happy? Good.
