Nearest match in each category, from a fixed list of Guernsey amenities — not every pub, café or shop on the island, so treat this as a useful sample, not a complete picture. Distances are straight-line ("as the crow flies"), multiplied by 1.3 to approximate real road-network distance — this is an estimate, not turn-by-turn routing, and actual walking/driving routes may differ. Times assume constant average speeds appropriate to Guernsey's roads and 25/35mph limits: walking 4.5 km/h, cycling 14 km/h, driving 30 km/h — not open-road speeds, and they don't account for traffic, parking or terrain.

What would improving it be worth?

Value added is the extra floor area priced at £6,271/m² — the midpoint asking price per m² among 120 Guernsey properties currently for sale that publish a floor area. Cost uses real Guernsey build rates: £4,000–£6,000/m² new build and £2,000–£4,000/m² refurbishment, depending on quality. Net is against the mid rate. The last column is how often Guernsey actually grants that kind of application.

Improvement	Value it might add	Likely cost	Net	Granted
Add a bedroom (single-storey extension) A modest double plus circulation, built new. ~14 m²	£87,790	£70,000 14 m² · mid spec new build range £56,000–£84,000	+£17,790	97% (1,510)
Loft conversion with a bedroom Works inside an existing roof, so it prices as refurbishment rather than new build — which is why it usually wins. ~20 m²	£125,414	£60,000 20 m² · mid spec refurb range £40,000–£80,000	+£65,414	97% (148)
Two-storey extension Roughly 14 m² on each of two floors. ~28 m²	£175,580	£140,000 28 m² · mid spec new build range £112,000–£168,000	+£35,580	93% (86)
Garage, annexe or outbuilding Detached space is worth less per m² than main-house floor area. ~18 m²	£67,724	£90,000 18 m² · mid spec new build range £72,000–£108,000	−£22,276	90% (738)

Read this as an order of magnitude, not a promise

Two things it cannot see. First, it prices floor area at the local average rate — it doesn't know your plot, your roof, your outlook, or whether an extension is physically possible; nor whether your street has a ceiling price that no amount of extending beats. Second, the rate comes from asking prices of other properties currently for sale, because Guernsey's sold register records no floor areas at all — so it reflects what sellers ask, not what buyers paid.

The obvious alternative method is worse, which is why it isn't used here: comparing a typical 3-bed with a typical 4-bed suggests a bedroom is worth around £430,000 island-wide. It isn't — a 4-bed is generally a bigger house on a bigger plot, so that figure measures the mix of what's for sale, not the value of adding a room.

Before spending anything, get a builder's quote and talk to an architect — who is actually filing applications shows which firms are active and how often their applications succeed.
