Question - What are the benefits of a garage conversion? What are the benefits of a garage conversion?
Answer

Your garage takes up a considerable area of space on your property – if you don’t really use your garage properly (and so many of us don’t!), then this space is not utilised to full effect. So, you can quite simply add an extra room on to your house without having to upgrade to a bigger (and more expensive) property. This also means that you can avoid the stress, upheaval and associated moving and legal costs. Garage conversion costs are an extremely economical way to add this extra space and, unlike extensions or conservatories, you don’t need to have fine weather during the project. If you talk to your local estate agent you will normally find that the addition of this kind of extra room will also increase the value of your property.

 

Question - Are my local council informed? Are my local council informed?
Answer - Yes

We inform the local building control department of your council of the intended conversion under a building control notice. As part of general building regulations, they will then send out a building control officer to inspect and monitor the garage conversion as the work gets underway.

Benefits of a conversion

The benefits of having your garage converted are clear to see:

• Increase the value of your property (seek advice from a local estate agent to find out more).
• Save money on moving costs – a garage conversion can give you a more spacious home without the need to take on a huge mortgage, stamp duty and moving fees.
• Get extra space in your home – a typical single garage takes up an average of 15 sq metres – this is space we could all put to a better use.
• Improve the external appearance of your property thus making it easier to sell in the future.
