Why You Should Be Planning A Loft Conversion London

With the cost of moving house going up by the day and the daunting thought of having to quite literally pack up your life and move it elsewhere putting many people off the stressful action of moving house, having a loft conversion London on your existing home is rapidly becoming the most sensible solution to gaining much needed extra space.
Since the cost of moving is so off-putting perhaps we should flip to the other side of the coin to reveal that having your loft converted can add up to 20 per cent to the value of your house! With work taking on average only around 12 weeks and conversions costing an average of just 20,000, this is a cost effective and quick way of getting the additional rooms you need in your house as well as increasing its value in the long term.

Loft conversions London are suitable for a variety of homes but one of the first things you will have to check is that you have adequate height for your conversion. The simplest way to do this is to detect whether you are able to stand upright in the loft at its highest point – it needs to be around 2.3 metres at minimum to be suitable for converting.


Secondly you will need to be sure you are clear on your needs and have full architectural plans drafted for your loft conversion London – taking into consideration any restrictions enforced by building regulations or rules and ensuring that you’ve got planning permission for your conversion. At this stage you’ll need to consider the number of rooms you would like, whether you want a bathroom, if you’ll have space for storing and what the rooms are going to be used for.
Keep in mind that what you would like from a loft conversion and what’s possible in terms of available space, plumbing, etc. may not be the same so you’ll need to prepare to be flexible.
Finally, it’s fair to say that you should always use professionals when planning and building loft conversions London or another kind of home improvement because this will assure your project is completed on time and to optimum standards.
