Helensburgh

The town of Helensburgh is in Argyll and Bute in Scotland. It rests on the north shore of the Firth of Clyde and the eastern shore of the entrance to the Gareloch. Even though historically in the Dumbarton District, it was re-allocated under the regional government reorganisation that came about in 1996. Before 1975, it was an area in former Dunbartonshire. Citing the 2001 Census, the town has a permanent population of around 14626. Helensburgh was developed in 1776 mostly following the building and construction of health spa baths on the site of Ardencaple Castle, which went back to about 1600, by Sir James Colquhoun of Luss. Shortly after its progression, a seaside resort town was built on the east of the spa in the style of Edinburgh New Town, which was named after his spouse Helen. A ferryboat service ran throughout the Firth of Clyde to Greenock, which efficiently and successfully drew in citizens who could commute from jobs there. With time, the town ended up being a favourite home for shipping magnates and tobacco merchants from Glasgow. The success of the town is demonstrated by the fact that at one point in the 18th century, the town was the home of one quarter of Britain's millionaires. In the present day, the town is mainly a commuter town for Glasgow. It also serves as a main shopping centre for close-by places, and travelers continue to be drawn in to the seaside resort. The seafront includes an indoor swimming pool, an esplanade walk, and a variety of shops, cafés and clubs. For all of your house upgrades, make certain to make use of respected professionals in Helensburgh to make certain of quality.

FAQs

how much value does a garage conversion add?

It’s a fact that a garage conversion can go a long way to add a resale value to a home or property. Therefore, in the event whereby your home already has parking facilities in place you can put into consideration converting your garage into a habitable space which will add to the sales price of the house by adding an extra room or increasing the floor space. So exactly how much does a garage conversion add to your home’s resale value?

Garage conversions can be seen as a cost effective means of adding more space to your house. However, not only does it add space, but can also add up to 20 percent to the value of your home. It’s also a way of adding an extra living space to your home that’s not under strict planning complication unlike the alternatives. Generally, if your garage happens to be connected to your house, the cost of converting it to another room should between £10,000 to £20,000. As a home owner, converting your garage into an extra room can help increase the value of your home by up to £45,000. And if you’re to comply with the set rules under permitted development rights, you may not even require to submit a planning application.

In the event whereby your garage is detached from your house or perhaps you live in a flat ( or maisonette) or a listed building , you’ll need to apply to the local authority before commencing your project. It’s always wise to check if there aren’t any planning conditions attached to your home or property.

do i need planning permission for a garage conversion?

Are you thinking about converting your garage into a new space? Be it a new bedroom, gym, library or playroom, one thing you’ll have to consider before getting started is whether or not you’re going to require a planning permission. Unlike extensions that needs additional space, garage conversion is all about changing the existing structure of a space that’s already available to you - your garage. As a result, these projects are mostly covered by a planning policy that’s a bit different.

For a garage conversion, it’s very unlikely that you’ll need a planning permission. As a matter of fact, only 10 percent of garage conversions has been estimated to need a full planning permission, with the others coming under the permitted development rights. The permitted development rights, however, only provides coverage for home improvements that’s internal which implies that so far you’re not trying to enlarge your garage, you’ll not require a planning permission. But if otherwise, you’ll have to submit an application before commencing your project.

If you’re looking to comply with the permitted development rights, then your project must comply with some specific guidelines. These rules include the following:

• The work should be internal. No plans to enlarge or extend the existing garage.

• You should make sure that the materials used in carrying out the garage conversion is the same with the materials used in building the existing house.

• The building should not be extended.

You may, however, require a planning permission if you’re going to change a detached garage into a living space which could be a bedroom, small annexe or a living room.

Some houses excluded from the permitted development rights include flats, listed buildings, some new developments and most homes in a conservation area.

How long will my garage conversion take?

It’s often said that a garage conversion can take anywhere between 1 week to 1 month, depending on the size and scope. But many standard conversions without any plumbing can take as little as 5 days. Your contractor will be able to tell you exactly how long your garage conversion will take.

Will I need planning permission or building regulations approval?

You may need planning permission if you are planning a larger extension. All extensions will need building regulations approval. An architect can assist with this and if planning permission is required. A reputable contractor will also be able to advise you if this is needed as well.
