Is a loft conversion right for you?
Almost all homes can benefit from loft conversion and the added space they can provide. A bit of basic planning can add a lot of extra space. Here are the answers to some common questions about loft conversions.
Do I need Planning Permission and Building Regulations Approval?
Yes – all loft conversions, especially those in semi-detached or terraced houses require Building Regulation approval, regardless of whether planning permission is needed or not. If your proposal interferes with a neighbouring wall, under the Party Wall Act, you must inform the neighbour of your proposal.
Is my loft suitable?
Head height, pitch and structure as well as obstacles such as chimney stacks and water tanks are all things to take into account when considering a loft conversion
Although there is no regulated ceiling height for habitable rooms, stairs must have a 2m height.
How much will my loft conversion cost?
Cost of a loft conversion is dependent on the structure of the roof, the existing space and the alterations needed to add a staircase.
There are several types of loft conversions available, all explained by MRS here.
