Converting Your Maidstone, Kent Loft

Cost-effective loft conversions are a cheaper way of expanding the size of your home as in comparison to a full extension or moving home completely, the cost of a loft conversion comes in a lot cheaper. In addition to offering valuable extra living space, loft conversions give one of the best returns on investment you can get when it comes to extending, with research suggesting they add the most value to your home in comparison to the cost. Converting your loft from a cold dark storage area to a desirable and habitable living space is, in fact, one the quickest and cheapest ways to add extra room and value to your home.
You Need Planning Permission In Maidstone
A front aspect roof dormer, increasing the roof height beyond original build height, listed buildings or construction in a conservation area would require planning permission. Deciding to convert your loft requires careful consideration of your roof structure, heating and insulation. If you don't need to alter the roofline of your home and can fit loft conversion works inside the existing roof cover then you should be able to do the work under permitted development (unless you are in a conservation area).
Comparing the quoted cost of your loft conversion, plus the value of your home, with the cost of moving to a larger house in the same area is a worthwhile practice in assessing the benefits of converting the space. Before starting any loft conversion project Loft Conversions Maidstone advise that you speak to your local planning department to prevent any surprises.
