Add Extra Space to Your House With Loft Conversions in London


By Aelfric Lee at 2012-09-24 07:06:16
With the escalating prices of properties in London, few people can afford to move to a large house to accommodate a growing family. For most people, loft conversions are the most suitable option of maximizing the livable space.

With the help of experienced building companies in London, residents of the city are frequently utilizing the loft area to add an extra room to the house. In addition to maximizing the use of the available space in a terraced home, loft conversion also adds value to the property. It is estimated that even in a volatile property market, a loft conversion enhances the value of the property by almost 10 percent. Therefore, investment in loft conversion ensures the best return for your money.

Purpose for Loft Conversion

There are diverse purposes for loft conversions. You may need an extra bedroom or a guest room. Loft conversions are often undertaken for constructing a games room for kids or a study room. You may also utilize the room space for building a gym, storage area or bathroom.

Planning a Loft Conversion

The architectural plan of a loft conversion is drawn according to the purpose of using the loft area. Before undertaking the construction activities, a reputed builder will assess the condition of the building. According to the latest building regulations, standard loft conversions do not require the permission of the local council. Although most of the terraced homes are suitable for loft conversions, nonetheless, structural engineers will inspect the health of the existing structure to ensure that the construction plan is compatible with the building regulations.

Things to consider

Even loft conversions that do not require building permission from the local authorities cannot divert from the prevailing building regulations. Therefore, while planning the construction, make sure that the added area is structurally sound. It should have sufficient headroom. As the loft walls and roof are exposed to the corrosive weather elements, they should have appropriate weather resistant components. For optimal comfort, the new room should have proper ventilation and insulation.

It should have a proper access point with an appropriately constructed staircase. Include fire safety elements such as escape windows and fire resistance door in the loft. It should have proper lighting fittings. If you are planning to utilize the roof space as a bedroom with en suite bathroom, it should have appropriate plumbing to prevent leakages that may spoil the foundation of the loft. With proper planning, you can easily have a loft that significantly boosts the appearance and value of your property.
