Homes in the East of England

The East of England has a large stock of post-war and modern estate housing alongside period homes in market towns, which makes garage conversions, single-storey extensions and loft conversions popular.

What do you get with a house renovation?

A house renovation brings an older or neglected home up to modern standards: rewiring, new heating, replastering, new kitchen and bathrooms, windows, insulation and often a new layout. It can be done room by room or as one programme while the house is empty.

Use these ranges to budget for house renovations; the survey turns them into a fixed price for the agreed specification.

House renovations	Guide price incl. VAT

What approvals does a house renovation need in England?

English projects need planning clearance from the local council, building regulations sign-off from building control, and party wall notices where the work is on or near a shared boundary. We prepare and manage all three.

Internal work like this does not usually need planning permission unless the house is listed or your permitted development rights have been removed.

What can affect a house renovation?

Older houses can hide timber decay and damp, so we allow a contingency.
Living in during a full renovation is difficult; most people move out for part of it.
