WHY A LOFT CONVERSION IN OVAL?

Transform an unused space in your house in Oval in an affordable way through a loft conversion. With this type of home upgrade, you’re in for a functional treat as it will turn the empty attic area you have into something habitable like a new bedroom, a gym, or a mini home office. You can take advantage of the available space in your house without spending the same amount of money as needed when you move houses and without losing some outside space, say a chunk out of the garden or reducing the size of the driveway.

HOW WILL I BENEFIT FROM A LOFT CONVERSION?

Although it’s evident that the main benefit you’ll get to enjoy once you decide to have a loft conversion is the maximized space in your Oval property, there are still more perks that you can reap once the home improvement is done. One good benefit that you’ll get in a loft conversion is the increased property value which according to the Nationwide Building Society is over 25%. This is why many homeowners consider a loft conversion as a worthwhile investment. All the costs that you’ll spend for this home upgrade will eventually return to you in double the amount. Moreover, thanks to a loft conversion, you’ll also enjoy cheaper energy bills because of the insulation that will be installed in your loft which will decrease the use of a heating system.

WHICH TYPE OF LOFT CONVERSION IS RIGHT FOR ME?

There are several types of loft conversion that we can do for your house in Oval, the only limitation that we need to focus on is if it is the right fit for your empty area. The most convenient type and involves a straightforward construction is a Velux loft conversion. This type will allow you to enjoy the basic perks of getting a loft conversion. The next type is a dormer loft which is the most common type of loft conversion because of how relatively easy it is to build. It is more expensive than a Velux conversion but it will give you the option to enjoy maximized floor space and headroom. An ideal match for a semi-detached or terraced property is a hip-to-gable loft conversion because it will rebuild the hipped roof your house has into a vertical gable wall for a maximized floor area and headroom. The most complicated type of loft conversion is a mansard loft conversion. This kind of loft conversion will completely restructure your attic into a massive new room that’s almost similar to a new storey so you can enjoy a huge floor area and head space.

DO I NEED PLANNING PERMISSION BEFORE GETTING A LOFT CONVERSION?

Securing planning permission may be the least of your worries when you decide to have a loft conversion in Oval since the construction mainly happens within your scope of property. This kind of home expansion is generally allowed under the right permitted developments, however, there are several limitations that are included in some types of loft conversion that will require you to obtain the document before proceeding with the construction like the extension will be higher than the current roof height and such. Moreover, if your house is currently situated in a conservation area, planning permission will also be required before the loft conversion begins on your property.

DO I NEED TO RELOCATE DURING THE LOFT CONVERSION?

You won’t be required to move out while the loft conversion happens in your home since the construction mainly occurs at the top of your property. Rest assured that if you hire the builders we have at Loft Conversion London, you’ll experience minimal disruption to your daily activities as do our work diligently. Choosing to stay will also be beneficial for you since you can easily check the progress of the home upgrade. But if you still decide to leave for a while, you can freely do so and just come back once the loft conversion is completed.
