For those lucky enough to have an attic or loft space that is the right height and size for a loft conversion, then creating that extra room that would squeeze all the value out of your home could be as easy as installing a loft window and access. This is by far the easiest way to convert the loft into an extra bedroom or what ever you need. For your loft space to be big enough to benefit from a loft window conversion your ceiling height must be 2.3m or higher over half the floor space. If this is not the case, you should look for other types of loft conversion that can increase the space in your loft.

The popularity of loft window conversions has grown in recent years. There are a number of factors that have spurred this trend, not least the uncertainty in the property market which motivates people into maximising the value of the property that they own. There are other factors, besides the investment potential, that have also helped. Moving property can be stressful and by adding a loft window conversion you eliminate the need to move from a home that you are fond of. One extra usable room can make the difference between a cramped living space and a home with room to spare.

Now that we have outlined the benefits of getting a loft window conversion, we would recommend getting more “property specific” information that is relevant to you. Whilst the process of installing a loft window is relatively simple compared to other options, there are a few hoops that you have to jump through, especially if you are living in London. There are some planning restrictions in large areas of London and unfortunately the authorities have not presented these in a way that is of any use to anyone looking to get a loft conversion. However, we have created a checklist that will help you to determine if your property is suitable for a loft conversion.

This just leaves the matter of cost. A loft window conversion is by far the most cost effective method of converting your loft but every individual case will have a different price tag. Therefore it is important to at least speak to a reputable loft conversion specialist either by phone or by getting them round to look at your property.

I hope that we have provided you with all the information that you need to get a loft window conversion.
