Types of loft conversions for Newbury homes
These are the various types of loft conversion we can design and build:
How your home can benefit from a loft conversion
More practical space
Converting unused attic space is one of the easiest ways to extend your living space. Whether you need the extra space for an office, a new bedroom, or a playroom for the kids, building upwards helps you achieve your interior goals quickly.
Cost-effectiveness
Instead of splurging on a new home, you can put significantly less money and time towards a loft conversion while getting the extra space you need.
Improved resale value
Potential home buyers are always on the lookout for features that make the property worth investing in. A loft conversion can give you a competitive edge and increase your home’s resale value by 20%.
Planning permission and permitted developments in Newbury
Loft conversions might require certain permits from local government bodies. Detached, semi-detached or terraced properties may benefit from permitted development regulations while flats and properties in conservation areas require relevant planning permits.
Our team will walk you through the laws governing your loft project and handle the bulk of the paperwork on your behalf. We have years of experience working with councils throughout England. With 98% of our plans approved the first time, you can rest assured that your project meets every aspect of approval.
