When looking for a loft conversion we need to set up a loft conversion London plan. In 2008, there was a change in the planning regulations that meant that many lofts, if under a certain size or in a certain style, would not need planning permission. This means that it is now easier and cheaper than ever to get a loft conversion (as planning permission applications could cost up to £1000). However, there are certain issues that a London loft conversion has to overcome that extensions in other areas are not subject to. London has several conservation areas that put restrictions on what type of extensions you are allowed to do. This is why we have developed a loft conversion London plan.

The first part of the loft conversion London plan is to try and figure out if you are in one of these conservation areas. There is a simple way to get an idea of whether you are or not and that is to go outside and see if there are any other properties on your street that have loft conversions. If there are then there is a good chance that you will not even need planning permission.

With step one of our loft conversion London plan complete, what is the next step? For most people the next question is whether they can afford a loft conversion, or more specifically, what kind of London loft conversion can they get with their budget. In our loft conversion London plan we recommend getting in touch with your local and reputable London builders in order to have a chat with them either by phone or get them round to have a look at your property. They will be able to confirm your planning permission needs and can talk to you about prices and your options.

If you are not sure about whether your local builders are reputable, and many are not, then you can use one of our recommended loft conversion London specialists. We have very strict criteria for choosing which builders we recommend and have taken every measure to find you the best for your area.
