Garage Conversions and Outbuildings
Garage Conversions and Outbuildings in London
Thinking about having an outbuilding in your garden? This can be achieved via converting a garage space, or via building one from the scratch. Either way, it is a beneficial and easy way to create a new space to be used as a granny flat, music studio, gaming room, cinema and entertainment room, office space or even a gym! It is great that you have a blank canvas to work on.
Pros of Having an Outbuilding in London
Cost is a big benefit of having a garage conversion. You already have the main structure in place and this alone saves you a lot of building costs. If you have a double garage, you can still get use out of a garage with half being constructed into that extra space. There is less building work involved in a garage conversion than a traditional house extension. Normally once the garage door is off you only need one set of footings and brick/block work to the new window level. Adding a garage conversion can also add up to 20% on your properties value, if you have a drive or road parking, this is a fantastic benefit.
How Much Does
a Garage Conversion Cost in London?
Garage conversion costs will vary depending on the size, use and final finish of the garage. Having a garage conversion is a great way of adding extra living or working space to your home without moving or building an extension. It’s also practical as there is less building work involved with a garage conversion and is a lot more cost effective if you can free up the garage space.
Planning Permission for
Garage Conversions and Outbuildings in London
The type of garage you have will affect the type of planning permission you will need and should be correct before you start any work. A stand alone garage needs different permission than an integral garage and you may need to apply for a change of use. If you live in a conservation area then you are more likely to need permission before any work is carried to your garage. Each garage conversion will never be the same, this is the beauty of planning and building your own dreams.
