Research shows you can increase the property value by over 20%<\/li>\n<li>Cost effective: Converting your loft is a third cheaper than moving to a house with an extra room<\/li>\n<li>Get extra living space in the home without disrupting everyday life as a conservatory or extension would<\/li>\n<li>Planning permission is generally not needed<\/li>\n<li>You won\u2019t have to use up valuable garden space in the same way an extension would<\/li>\n<li>It won\u2019t take you endless months to complete and will be finished in between 5 and 8 weeks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Do you have to worry about restrictions?<\/h2>\n<p>The good think with converting your loft as opposed to extending the property is you\u2019ll encounter fewer restrictions. First and foremost, in many cases planning permission won\u2019t come into effect. In layman\u2019s terms, if you can measure 2.3m from the floor to the roof in the tallest part of your loft space and half of the loft area is this height then a loft conversion is good to go. Also remember, the higher the roof, the more suitable the loft is for a conversion. <\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s always best though is to double check with your local council via the planning officer. The last thing you want to do is miss any regulations that are confined to your area. <\/p>\n<h2>Building Regulations<\/h2>\n<p>A common mistake made by homeowners is believing planning permission and Building Regulations to be the same thing. They are completely different and Building Regulations always need to be adhered to. <\/p>\n<p>The first thing to bear in mind is that if you\u2019re converting the space into a bedroom, bathroom or other living space, you\u2019ll require a permanent staircase. Building Regulations also cover things such as energy efficiency, ventilation, fire safety and lighting. That\u2019s why it\u2019s sensible to find out all the information you need to before starting with the conversion. <\/p>\n<p>The Government\u2019s planning portal is a handy website to check where you\u2019ll find all the rules and regulations in one place. <\/p>\n<h2>Always expect the unexpected<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019d be lovely if everything did run smoothly and without any problems. But when has that ever happened before? Even if you anticipate your budget to remain intact, it pays to have a little extra money available if you need it. <\/p>\n<p>For instance you may need extra plumbing or heating which can add up in cost. You\u2019ll also need to think about insulation costs. Insulation needs to be between 150 and 250mm thick to ensure you meet thermal, sound and fire regulations. <\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll also need to consider what windows you want in the conversion. Velux are pretty standard and the most popular, but you could also be adventurous with dormer installations. Bear in mind you may require planning permission with a dormer as it\u2019ll change the exterior look. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019ve been living in your home a while now you\u2019ll probably have been thinking about moving or extending the property.
