One of the main benefits with a garage conversion is the space can be transformed quickly for the extra room you will need, regardless of whether it's for a growing family or simply just to add to the price of your home.

A garage conversion means you won't need to move for more space, which can help you save a lot of money on solicitor fees, estate agent payments and stamp duty. And the extra room can be changed into whatever you need, whether it's an extension to the living area or kitchen, or possibly a separate room completely.

With the infrastructure already in place it's clear that a garage conversion is going to be cheaper than building an extension too, and won't eat important space in your garden. With the outside unlikely to change too, it's a good way to bypass regulations for conservation areas and listed buildings.
