Homes in the Lothians
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 does a garage conversion involve?
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.

- Insulated floor, walls and ceiling
- Heating, electrics and data points
How much should I budget for a garage conversion?
What garage conversions typically cost. These are guide ranges; the written quote for your house replaces them.
| Garage conversions | Guide price incl. VAT |
|---|---|
| Single integral garage | £12,000 to £17,000 |
| Single attached garage | £12,000 to £24,000 |
| Single detached garage | £18,000 to £30,000 |
| Double garage | £25,000 to £54,000 |
What approvals does a garage conversion need in Scotland?
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 change the price or programme?
- Some new-build estates have a planning condition keeping garages for parking.
- Losing a parking space can matter on streets with permit parking.
