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 do you get with a house-to-flat conversion?
A house-to-flat conversion divides a single house into two or more self-contained flats, each with its own front door, kitchen and bathroom. It always needs planning permission and full building regulations approval, particularly for fire separation and sound insulation between flats.

Planning and building rules in Bathgate
Scottish projects follow a different process from England: the council issues a building warrant before work starts and accepts a completion certificate at the end, alongside any planning permission needed. We prepare both applications.
This needs planning permission and a building warrant from your council in Scotland before work starts.
What should I think about before starting?
- Sound insulation between flats is tested on completion.
- Mortgage lenders and freehold arrangements need early legal advice.
What happens after I enquire?
- Send us the details. Give us a postcode, a rough idea of size and some photos, by phone, form or the guide price tool.
- Free site visit. We measure up, look at access, drains and the structure, and talk through options and budget.
- Drawings, approvals, written quote. We prepare the design, apply for the approvals it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing.
- Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
House-to-flat conversions: common questions
How much does a flat conversion cost?
It varies too much to give a reliable guide figure, so we price each one on survey. The reduced 5% VAT rate can apply where the number of dwellings changes.
Can you help with the planning case?
Yes. We check the council’s policies first and only proceed with a design that has a realistic chance of approval.
Who deals with the council for a project in Bathgate?
We do. We prepare the drawings, submit planning or permitted development paperwork if needed, and arrange building control inspections.
