At a time when the housing sector is pretty slow and property prices are falling, an increasing number of people are staying put and taking advantage of the space they have already got. One strategy for utilising all of the available space in your house is to have a loft conversion London. It is more affordable than moving house, adds another room or rooms to your property and stops you from using the loft as an area for storing things you will almost certainly never use again.

By hiring professional loft conversions London companies you’ll be able to completely transform the interior of your property, but there are some elements that need considering before you give your loft conversions company the go-ahead.
Initially you must determine what the room will likely be used for. Will it be a bedroom and if so do you need an ensuite bathroom? How much extra will another bathroom cost and by how much will it limit the size of the bedroom?
Your loft conversions company will provide advice on your requirements, for example whether or not your loft space is an appropriate size for the room/s you want.
Secondly you will have to consider how soundproofed the room is and whether any noise levels will have an effect on the area underneath – this is particularly important if the room will be for example, a teenager’s bedroom – just think of the loud music you’ll have to deal with if you do not soundproof the loft conversion sufficiently.
Again, your loft conversion London company should be able to provide information on the most practical use for your loft space and recommend any additional services, like soundproofing, which you may require to obtain the most from the conversion.
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, you will have to ensure that any work complies with the rules and regulations. For instance, planning permission may be required if the conversion will alter the outside appearance of your property or if you live in a conservation area or listed building. Party wall regulations can also affect your conversion and you will have to ensure the work does not affect the soundproofing or strength of the neighbours’ adjoining walls.
Admittedly, there are a lot of areas to consider, but your loft conversions London company will give you advice and suggestions to enable you to make the most of your existing space.
