Types of loft conversions for your homes
These are the various types of loft conversion we can design and build for your home:
Advantages of converting your loft
Added useful space
A loft conversion is a great way of maximising available living space. Extending upwards instead of outwards also saves precious garden area.
Cost-effectiveness
Amid increasing costs of moving house, a loft conversion offers greater flexibility for your family’s changing needs.
Improved resale value
A conversion can add up to an extra 20% to 30% on top of your home’s existing value, easily covering building costs while adding a substantial profit should you plan to sell in the future.
Planning permission for your loft conversion
With 98% of our plans approved the first time, you don’t have to worry about being denied planning permission.
During the initial visit, the surveyor will determine the building policies that apply to your location and type of property. Most detached, semi-detached or terraced properties are usually covered by permitted development regulations while flats and properties in conservation areas require relevant planning permits.
Our team will be happy to advise you on building regulations and assure your loft conversion is compliant.
