Loft Conversion Regulations
Loft conversion regulations
Building control regulations
Building control regulations will almost always be required if the loft space is being converted into any usable form of accommodation,subject to the local authority requirements.
These requirements are in place to ensure that the necessary construction criteria are met and that the all health and safety laws, amongst other things, have been satisfied. A professional loft conversion specialist will usually conduct all liaisons with the relevant local authority.
Planning permission
Planning permission is not usually required to convert an attic into a livable space, unless the work involves extending the roof (such as with a dormer extension).
Benefits of loft conversions
Loft conversions yield numerous benefits for homeowners, which may be the reason for their increasing popularity. Often, up to 30% of a property’s potential space is located within the loft area. Converting the attic will therefore provide a significant amount of room that may be used for a wide variety of accommodation; often a bedroom, bathroom, office, or entertainment room.
It is widely perceived that a loft conversion will add a significant amount of money to the value of a property. Whilst the exact figure varies, many credible sources have determined that a professional loft conversion can increase a house’s value by approximately 20%..
Many families also choose to convert their loft area as a means of obtaining more space without having to endure the costly and stressful process of moving property
