Loft conversions are proving to be more and more popular in the UK. In most properties the loft space accounts for unused space which would go to better use. Converting can turn the space into a bedroom, bathroom, playroom or perhaps ensuite bedroom.

In fact there's a lot of potential to converting your loft, including the added value for the home which may be up to 20%. Loft space conversions are also recommended over a home extension as the infrastructure has already been in place. Furthermore, you won't be removing any garden space.

If a loft conversion would benefit your home and you're interested in extra space, contrast prices from reliable companies in Lauder and get the best deal for the work you want completed.

Lauder

The Royal Burgh of Lauder is a town in the Scottish Borders in the historical county of Berwickshire. On the Southern Upland Way, the burgh lies 27 miles south east of Edinburgh, on the western border of the Lammermuir Hills. The present population of the town is around 1500, although it is rapidly increasing as over 100 brand-new houses are being developed on the southern boundary. This means that, at the beginning of the 21st century, the population is approaching what it was at the beginning of the 20th century in advance of the duration of depopulation over the last 100 years. Lauder is today strongly affected by its distance to Edinburgh as it is now judged to be close enough for employees to commute into the capital for work. The bus service to Edinburgh is trustworthy but irregular. Notable buildings in the town today include the Tolbooth or Town Hall, which predates 1598 when records show it being burnt by a celebration of Homes and Cranstouns led by Lord Home, in a fight in between them and the Lauder family who were at the time sitting on the bench as hereditary baillies. On 18 July 1793, during a serious and long-lasting thunderstorm, a 'ball of fire struck the steeple above the Tollbooth, and did considerable damage'. Existing contention in Lauder is the town's development, whether it is needed or desirable, the location of a new primary school and how soon one will be built, and the location and extent of wind farms on the surrounding hills. Additionally on the agenda is the debate surrounding the formation of a brand-new health centre in the burgh. For all your home renovations, be sure to find trusted specialists in Lauder to make certain of quality.

FAQs

Can my loft be converted?

Many types of loft are suitable for a loft conversion. In general, you will need at least 2.3 metres of headroom in your existing loft. This is to make sure there is enough headroom after the conversion. Speak to a conversion specialist about the probability and possibility of doing this in your house.

do you need planning permission for a loft conversion?

Typically, loft conversions do not require planning permission except in certain situations. They’re usually covered under what’s known as Permitted Development. Certain building works like loft conversion, rear extension and conservatories are granted planning permission by local authorities. Permitted Development, however, gives you a free range to improve your home without having any issues from the councils or regulations. Before your planned loft conversion can be covered under Permitted Development, there are some certain criteria that must be met. This criteria includes the following:

✓ The extension must not go beyond the existing slope of the roof at the front of the house.

✓ The loft space converted must not go beyond 40 cubic metres in a terraced house.

✓ The roof’s height must not be increased by the extension.

✓ The loft space converted must not reach beyond 50 cubic metres in a detached or semi detached house.

✓ The plan for the extension mustn’t involve structures like balconies, verandas or anything other structures of this nature.

✓ The roof extension should be positioned as far back as possible or at least 20cm from the existing eaves.

✓ The side that faces the window openings should be at least 1.7m beyond the floor and the windows should also be obscured.

✓ The roof extension must not overhang the existing roof or wall of the house.

✓ The materials that are to be used must be similar or the same to the materials that has already been used on the house’s exterior.

However, you should bear in mind that there are some properties that are exempt from Permitted Development. Examples of these type of properties include conservation areas, Areas Of Outstanding Natural Beauty and World Heritage sites. Permitted Development does not also provide coverage for listed buildings.

how much value does a loft conversion add?

When its impossible to build out and create more space sideways, why can’t you look upwards? As more and more homeowners in the UK are carrying out their loft conversion project, one question that keeps popping up is the amount of value the loft conversion can add to their homes. However, this is a question that is impossible to provide a single and precise answer to. This is because the value that’ll be generated by a loft conversion is largely dependent on a wide range of influencing factors. To give you a vague idea of the loft conversion value to a property, we’ve put forward a research carried out by industry experts so you can know what you’re in for.

Nationwide carried out a research which shows clearly that a loft conversion including an additional bedroom as part of the building plan will increase a house’s value by up to 21 percent. Since the number of rooms a house has is one of the main metrics for house valuations, loft conversion comes in pretty handy as it’s a great and easy way to convert your house from a 4 bedroom house to a 5 bedroom house prior to sale.

Apart from the financial value aspect, loft conversion also adds more value to your lifestyle which is very unlike nearly other financial investments you can make. More space in your house automatically means more storage or a new room as you wish. A new room can be for a growing family or probably to serve as a guest room. It can also be used as a study space or even an office especially with the rapidly growing rate of people working from home. With loft conversion, the possibilities in terms of value are simply endless!

What kinds of loft conversion are there?

There’s a huge range of different types of loft conversions. The most common are dormer and skylight or Velux conversions. There are also hip to gable and mansard conversions. The type of loft conversion that’s most suitable for your property will depend on the style of roof and the size of your loft.
