Younger people are remaining in the family home later in life to avoid paying high prices and to save for a deposit. With increasingly busy lives, staying within a larger family group makes sense, chores such as gardening and housework can be shared. Garages are rarely used for their intended purpose as cars are far more reliable and less prone to rust and so are perfectly happy outside. On the other hand, the amount of property space per person has been shrinking – converting a garage can make great sense. Things to consider. (the boring stuff) Usually easier than building from scratch but still a lot to do to turn a garage in to a habitable space. You'll need to check if you need planning (more likely to be required if the garage is detached). Building Regulations stipulate many things to make homes safe and secure. Consider Walls, are they cavity? Roof height Windows How will you get plumbing, electrics and drainage connected Insulation – it will be cold!

HOMEOWNERS have been urged to try out the "caveman method" to keep their homes cool in the hot weather. With , Brits across the nation will be doing everything they can to try to . Advertisement 2 It can be tricky to cool down in hot weather Credit: Getty 2 Homeowners have been urged to turn their homes into a "cave" And although purchasing a fan or making your own may be your first thought, one expert has revealed a hack won't cost you a penny. When trying to beat the heat, your first thought might be to open the doors and windows, to let air in. However, Joseph Holman, CEO of Green Doors revealed that this is the opposite of what you should do. Treat Your Home Like A Cave The expert explained that when it is extremely hot, keeping windows and doors open will simply blow more hot air in to the house. Advertisement Read more hot weather stoties Instead, he revealed that you should think of your house as being "like a cave." He told : "A cave is cool in heatwaves because it is dark and doesn't have direct sunlight or a direct entrance for the heat. " You want to probably mimic that." To turn your home in to a cave, Joseph recommended keeping your doors, windows and curtains closed. Advertisement Most read in Fabulous Exclusive He added: "You want to reduce sunlight and stop the movement of the outside air inside; even switching off the lights will help you with that". The expert explained that if you have air conditioning in your home, you don't open your windows and doors so as not to let the cold air out. How to keep pets safe during a heatwave In reverse, if you aren't running air conditioning, then if you have your windows and doors open, you are letting hot air in. For a longer term method to turn your home into a cave, Joseph said: "If you want to protect your home from the heat longer term, I would recommend investing in tinted film for windows to reflect the heat, as well as installing integral blinds as a smart way to control the temperature in your home. Advertisement "You can install integral blinds without changing the doors and windows themselves, simply by changing the glazing units." He added: "They are a great space-saver and will last longer than external blinds, which can be damaged much more easily." How to keep cool in hot weather Most of us welcome hot weather, but when it's too hot, there are health risks. Here are three ways to keep cool according to the NHS... Keep out of the heat if you can. If you have to go outside, stay in the shade especially between 11am and 3pm, wear sunscreen, a hat and light clothes, and avoid exercise or activity that makes you hotter. Cool yourself down. Have cold food and drinks, avoid alcohol, caffeine and hot drinks, and have a cool shower or put cool water on your skin or clothes. Keep your living space cool. Close windows during the day and open them at night when the temperature outside has gone down. Electric fans can help if the temperature is below 35 degrees. Check the temperature of rooms, especially where people at higher risk live and sleep. More Budget Hacks To Keep Cool Corey Sims at revealed that another free hack to keep you home cool is to The expert added that you can also fill a spray bottle with water, and use it to spray your curtains, which will lower the temperature of your home. Advertisement "Dampen your curtains to cool the room," the expert advised toasty homeowners. "As air blows across the wet drapes, evaporating water absorbs heat and lowers the room temperature. "The hot weather also ensures the curtains dry quickly without smelling damp." If you don't have a plastic spray bottle on hand, you can pick them up from most bargain retailers. Advertisement
