Planning and building rules in Bearsden
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 can affect a house-to-flat conversion?
- Sound insulation between flats is tested on completion.
- Mortgage lenders and freehold arrangements need early legal advice.
What are the steps?
- Send us the details. Give us a postcode, a rough idea of size and some photos, by phone, form or the guide price tool.
- Survey at your house. We look at the existing structure, services and access, and agree what the design needs to achieve.
- Drawings, approvals, written quote. We prepare the design, apply for the approvals it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing.
- We build it. Work follows an agreed programme, with inspections at each stage and a final sign-off.
Your questions answered
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.
How long does a conversion take?
Typically 16 to 30 weeks on site after approvals.
Can you visit a house in Bearsden to quote?
Yes. After a short call we arrange a site visit to measure up and agree what the design needs to do, then send a written price.
