Unless you're planning to sell it on again almost immediately
that isn't profit, that's value. It'll be meaningless until you sell. You'll just be 45 grand under.

Indeed.
This is assuming he's even able to sell it at the alleged increased value, of course.

Basically, what I'm saying is "shoulda boughtta bigger 'ouse".

But the "bigger 'ouse" in the street we want to live are £100K more expensive

Well, that makes sense, then.
Though I'd have bought in a different street :p

housing is not all about quick profit

So why's he building an extension?
Either he needs extra space, in which case "shouldda boughtta bigger 'ouse", or he's trying to profit, in which case he needs to sell it again as soon as the work's done.

I don't understand these people that extend saying "it'll add value" when they don't intend to move.

Often it's cheaper to build an extension, rather than buy a bigger house
maybe a bigger house wasn't available in the area he wants to live, i think maybe you're being a little black and white about this
