Loft conversions are a great way to add much-needed space to your current home. While most homes are suitable for loft conversions, some styles may be better suited to certain types of homes than others. Continue reading to find out which types of houses can have loft conversions.
• Detached houses
Detached houses are ideal for loft conversions. You don't have to worry about getting permission from your neighbors if there are no party wall agreements. Depending on the structure of your roof, many detached homes can boast conversions that span the entire footprint of the building. The possibilities are endless, with the possibility of bright, open-plan spaces or even a roof terrace or balcony.
• Victorian Houses
Victorian houses are part of the UK's architectural heritage. Everything from the neo-gothic to the arts and crafts movement inspired me. Victorian houses reflected the rapidly modernizing world in which they were built. As suburban populations grew, many Victorian properties joined in long terraces. Most of these properties' loft spaces were never used for living space and are ideal for a modern loft conversion. You can open up your loft space by using the existing roof of your Victorian home, adding floor space and value to your home.
Because you are not changing the external shape of your house, a straight loft conversion should not require planning permission. Adding roof lights or skylights is also covered by GPDO (permitted development) rules, so no planning permission is required. However, you should also check to see if your permitted development rights have been restricted or removed. Planning permission may be required if you intend to extend your roof space as part of your loft conversion.
Yes. It's a legal requirement, and if you don't get approval, your local council may force you to open up or rebuild important parts of the project. It may even result in prosecution and fines. There are a few ways to obtain building regulation approval, which are detailed in our other recent post here, but the most common route for a loft conversion is to submit a building notice to the council before the work begins. Consult with your builder and/or architect to determine who will be responsible for this notice.
The average cost of a Loft Conversion in Belmont is between £40,000 to £90,000. (in 2022) The most common type of Loft Conversion is the dormer as it adds the most space and best light to your property. A loft conversion will not only give you extra space but also enhance your living space on your property. A loft conversion price depends on many factors such as type of the conversion, type of the roof you have, type of the lighting you want in the loft, the type of windows required, the size of the project, fixtures and fittings, nature of the exterior, client's personal requirements and the site's location. If you want to know the exact cost of your Loft Conversion in Belmont, you will need to book a site survey or send us your drawings and our loft specialist will review them and get back to you with a quotation.
