LOFT CONVERSIONS
Loft Conversions have never been more popular across the UK. They cost less than an extension and if designed well they can add tremendous value to your property.
As more and more people start to work from home the unused attic space is ideal as a home office or to free up a bedroom so that you can separate work from family life.
Velux Loft Conversions are the cheapest because you don't need to alter the shape of the roof. All you really do is to install a few Velux windows, pop a staircase in and make use of the existing attic space. This type of loft conversion can be done for as little as £15k/£20k and in most cases you do not need a planning application.
Dormer Loft Conversions are a bit more elaborate as the usually include opening up the back of the roof and creating a lot more head room. The dormer loft is easily the most popular loft conversion in the UK as they provide loads more space and if the attic is large enough you should be able to squeeze 2 bedrooms and a bathroom out of it for around £30k/£40k.
Hipped Dormer Loft Conversions are also very popular for semi-detached properties. By building up the side elevation wall and creating an apex you create loads more head room and when you combine with a rear dormer you really do get a great loft conversion.
Back Addition Loft Conversions are also gaining ground, especially in London, where the cost of property is extremely high, and that extra floor adds incredible value.
At AVONPRESS we get a large number of inquiries from flat or apartment owners looking to add an extra bedroom so keep in mind that if you own a freehold or the lease to a top floor flat you may be sitting on a little goldmine as a basic loft conversion will pay dividends in the long term.
