Homes in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire
In Scotland many families extend bungalows and semis, while tenement flats bring shared ownership of roofs and walls that needs agreeing early.
What goes into a house-to-flat conversion?
We assess the house against the council’s policies on flat sizes, parking, bins and cycle storage before any design work, then design layouts to the space standards your council uses. On site the critical work is fire separation, sound insulation between floors, separate services and meters, and protected escape routes.
- Planning application and layouts to space standards
- Kitchens, bathrooms and finishes
- Bin, cycle and amenity space works
What is the guide price for a house-to-flat conversion in Aberdeen?

Priced on survey.
What approvals does a house-to-flat conversion need in Scotland?
Projects in Scotland need a building warrant from the council before any building work starts, and a completion certificate once it is finished. Planning permission is a separate decision. The Party Wall etc. Act does not apply in Scotland; shared walls are governed by title deeds and the law of the tenement where relevant.
This needs planning permission and a building warrant from your council in Scotland before work starts. We prepare both applications.
What should Aberdeen homeowners check first?
- Some councils restrict the loss of family houses or limit flat conversions in certain streets.
