Garage Conversion
When you look at the list of benefits of converting your garage, it’s no surprise that garage conversions are a growing trend as the solution to several problems.
A high-quality garage conversion will:
- Add value to your home: well planned and executed professionally, a garage conversion can add up to 10% to the value of your home – making a good return on your investment.
- Add more living space: creating extra modern, energy-efficient living space for your family is probably the chief reason you’d want to convert your garage. What you do with it – bedroom, ‘granny flat’ or games room - is up to you!
- Be cost-effective: the cost of a garage conversion is relatively low compared to alternatives such as loft conversion, single or two-storey extension. conservatories and orangeries. Which leads to the high return on investment it offers.
- Offer flexibility: you don’t have to convert the whole garage – some of it can be left unconverted for use as storage space. This is a major good option if losing storage space will be an issue at the end of your garage conversion project.
- Not reduce daylight into the rest of your home: a new build single or two-storey extension can cut off a significant amount of natural light into the rest of your home. But because your garage is an existing structure and doesn’t need any external work, a garage conversion won’t have that setback.
- Not increase your council tax: converting your garage won’t affect the rate of council tax you pay.
- Typically not need planning permission: in most cases a garage conversion won’t need planning permission from the council because it’s covered by ‘permitted development’ because all the work is internal. But if your home is in a conservation area or your garage is separate from your home, you may need planning permission.
