Are Loft Conversions in Oxted Worth It?

If you're considering a loft conversion, here are some things to consider before you get started. These include the cost, the benefits, and choosing an architect and builder. These professionals have experience in loft conversions in the Oxted area, and they know what to expect.

Costs

The costs of loft conversions can vary widely depending on the type of loft conversion and the size of windows. A small-scale conversion with two or three roof lights may cost £20,000 or £25,000; a large-scale extension can cost £63,000 or more. For more elaborate projects, such as adding roof windows, a larger conversion may cost £80,000 or more.

Benefits

Loft conversions can be a great way to create extra space for your home. You can use this space to store extra belongings or even create a guest room. It also allows you to increase the size of your downstairs suite or kitchen. This can be a great home improvement project that does not cost a lot of money.

Loft conversions are also an excellent choice for increasing the value of your home. A bedroom and bathroom converted in your loft can add as much as 21% to the value of your home. In addition, a loft conversion can improve the energy efficiency of your home. Without insulation, up to 25% of the heat produced inside your home escapes through your roof. Insulating your loft will help to retain that heat, reducing energy bills and reducing your carbon footprint. Moreover, energy efficient homes are more appealing to potential buyers.

Choosing an architect

Architects often have many years of experience in the field and are well versed in the ins and outs of the planning process. They can save you time, money and effort by spotting mistakes and issues in your designs. In addition, they are familiar with building regulations and can advise you on any restrictions. Whether your conversion is a loft conversion or an extension, an architect can help you through every step of the process.

Our architect will be able to create an appealing structure that fits in with the existing structure of the house. A loft conversion can be an ideal way to add space to your property and can add value to your property. The process can be stressful, but if you plan well, everything will go smoothly.

Why is Planning Permission needed for a Loft Conversion?

The requirement of planning permission for a loft conversion is subject to different limits and conditions. If the type of loft conversion that you prefer will not create a huge change in the structural design of your roof, construction can commence without this document in hand since a loft conversion is a permitted development rights. Planning permission is one of the permits you need to secure before a loft conversion begins in your house in Oxted if you choose the type that massively recreates the rear of your property. You will be tasked to obtain planning permission first before the loft conversion starts if the construction revises the eaves of your original roof. Also, if your property is located in a conservation area, planning permission will be necessary for the process of loft conversion. Failing to secure this document as the loft conversion gets done in your house will lead to a fine or imprisonment so it is best to check the situation you’ll go through.

How long does a Loft Conversion take to be completed?

For a simple loft conversion to be done in your house in Oxted, expect that construction will take 4 weeks or less. This type of loft conversion will only install dormer windows on your roof and insulators will be placed on walls and floors. A dormer loft conversion requires 6 to 8 weeks to be completed because the construction involved will change the architectural design of your roof to achieve a box-like structure that will provide you with maximized floor area and head space. The longest timeframe a loft conversion will take is 10 weeks or more, and that is by a mansard loft conversion that massively rebuilds the rear of your property into a huge room.
