Updated: Sep 30
Finchley is LCCL Construction's home territory. Our offices are based in Finchley N3 and we have delivered more house extensions and loft conversions in Finchley than any other area. The N3 and N12 postcodes encompass Finchley Central, North Finchley and East Finchley — areas characterised by a mix of Edwardian semi-detached houses, inter-war detached properties and Victorian terraced houses that offer excellent opportunities for house extensions of all types. LCCL Construction delivers house extensions across all of Finchley as part of our complete design and build service.
House Extensions Finchley: Best Types for Local Properties
The large Edwardian semi-detached houses that are common across Finchley N3 and N12 are ideally suited to wraparound extensions and double storey rear extensions. Victorian terraced houses in the area suit rear extensions and side return extensions. The detached inter-war and post-war properties in North Finchley and Whetstone suit generous rear extensions and double storey side extensions. LCCL Construction's deep knowledge of Finchley's property types and planning authority means we can advise on the best extension type for your specific property.
