Homes in the Scottish Borders

Scottish homes range from city tenements and sandstone terraces to bungalows and modern estates, and the building warrant process shapes the programme for every project.

What is a garage conversion?

Most integral garages already have the walls and roof; what they need is a new insulated floor, an infilled front wall with a window, and heating. We check whether your permitted development rights are intact, handle building control and finish the room ready to use.

How is a garage conversion approved in Hawick?

In Scotland the key step is the building warrant, which must be granted before work begins. Planning permission is decided separately by the council, and work on shared walls is handled under your title deeds rather than a party wall act.

In Scotland, converting a garage may not need planning permission if the outside barely changes, but a building warrant is needed before work starts.

What can affect a garage conversion?

Some new-build estates have a planning condition keeping garages for parking.
The garage floor is often lower than the house and needs raising.
