A London loft conversion is a great way of adding value to your home. If you need a play room for the kids, a hobby room, a home office or another bedroom the loft is the perfect space. With the installation of good loft windows it is a wonderful light and airy part of the house. In some cases the views can be spectacular and a loft room has a wonderful ambiance that ordinary rooms simply do not have. A loft room has instant character.

Designing a London Loft Conversion

Designing a London loft conversion can be a relatively complicated process. How you configure the room can be a bit challenging to get your head around, but that would be the case in any part of the country. However, there are added complications with planning a London loft conversion. Firstly planning permission in London can be difficult to obtain unless you know what you are doing. Since 2008 for most loft conversions you do not need planning permission, however there are exceptions and knowing if you fall into this category or not is not always easy to find out.

On top of that the logistics of getting building materials delivered to site ...
... can be complicated by the capital’s very restrictive parking and loading restrictions. If materials are going to be stored on site, in certain parts of the capital, additional security may be needed or it may not be possible because of access issues for neighbours.

These factors make planning a London loft conversion a little more complicated than the norm. However, if you find a well established firm and get them to do your loft conversion for you they will take care of design, planning permission and all logistics for you.
