Estate agents have advised that when you move house you can pay as much as £100,000 in some areas just to get an extra bedroom. Why pay these fees when you can utilise your loft space and create your own extra bedroom without the cost and hassle of moving?
Building Up Loft Conversions
 

Loft conversions are an ideal way to add value to your property. This is especially true in areas where space is at a premium. As families get too large for their houses it can often be cheaper to renovate the current house to add more room in the attic then it is to find a larger house.

Loft Types

Dormer
This option is where the existing loft space is of insufficient size for the proposed conversion, it creates additional headroom for the staircase and new room or rooms contemplated. If an additional bathroom is proposed along with the rooms the increased height created by the Dormer provides additional height above the fittings.


Rooflight/Velux™
This option is generally adequate for those contemplating the smaller loft conversion, generally for a single bedroom; study etc, where adequate height is available within the existing loft space. Rooflights can then be installed with a minimum of disruption.


Mansard
This type of conversion is generally designed within the inner London areas, where clients are following the Mansard trend of similar conversions within their locality. This type of conversion was the preferred design a number of years ago, and would most likely be the preferred option from a planning perspective in sensitive areas.
