Loft conversions can be a very intriguing option, often seen as a dream addition to a house; but it is actually far easier than you may think. However, is it truly worth getting a loft conversion for your property?
Like all kinds of extensions and conversions, it depends on how much you are getting back in return for how much you’re spending on it. For instance, Nationwide reports that your home’s value is increased by around 21% by a loft conversion, meaning that a £300,000 house would have around £63,000 added to it after the fact. However, if you are spending more on your loft conversion, between around £30,000 – £40,000 that would only add around £20,000 onto your property then it may be best to give it a rethink.
However, a loft conversion is more than just about the money, with an attic room being a highly desirable addition that is endlessly useful thanks to its interior nature and multi-purpose usage.
Depending on size, loft conversions typically take around 4 ½ weeks to fully build, with a gable end and rear dormer conversion on a semi-detached house taking around 5 ½ weeks.
Loft conversions can be put onto any kind of property, including brand new builds and older period properties. If you are unsure about the viability of a loft conversion on your property, then please feel free to contact our team and they will be able to talk you through your available options.
Loft conversions count as a permitted development. Volume allowance of 40 cubic meters additional space for terraced houses. Cannot be higher than the original roof of the house.
Thanks to recent changes in legislation, planning permission is now a lot more forgiving to extensions and other home improvement installations. Loft conversions are on the whole considered to be a permitted development, meaning that they do not require planning permission in order to be built.
However, while that may be more often than not the case, it is always recommended that you read through the planning regulations on the government’s Planning Portal to make sure that you do not require planning permission before starting on your installation, as failure to obtain planning permission when it is required can result in issues further on down the line.
