A loft conversion added to your property can transform the living space within your home and is one of the most popular home extension and renovation ideas there are. They are often much more cost effective than moving home to accommodate extra space that is required.
A loft is often a wasted space within the home that is used for storage and often it is just simply used to hoard items that do not necessarily need to be kept and are not used.
This space can be transformed into a unique and useful living space which will give you a new dimension to your home as well as adding value to your property. Here we will look at a few of the benefits from a loft conversion on your home.
Increased space – It is sometimes possible to outgrow your home with extending families, children growing up needing more space, grandchildren staying more space is often required. A loft conversion is a great way of increasing the living space within your home and optimising your home to its full potential.
Increased value – Not only will you benefit from additional space a loft conversion can add up to 20% value to your home which is a great investment.
Different options of style – A loft conversion is unique to each home and different options are available to provide the exact style you require and to suit your home and tastes. Dormer conversions add space and a roof extension to make the slope on a roof vertical. This helps to give good headroom and natural light. A velux style keeps your original layout of loft but added velux windows to give more light and the illusion of more space. Finally hip to gable conversions extend to the slope side of the roof and replaces it with a vertical wall to give more space.
Energy Efficient – A loft conversion is often quite low cost to run as large windows mean that natural light can be used most of the time. Insulation can be added to ensure the rooms are kept warm and also stop the hot air steeping through in the summer keeping the room cool.
Planning permission – Planning permission is rarely required for a loft conversion meaning that it is often preferred over a typical extension.
Multiple use – A loft conversion can be used for so many options including bedrooms, playrooms, offices and ensuites. There are many possibilities to suit your needs.
