Covering Bournemouth
Bournemouth is about 24 miles east of Dorchester. We also cover Christchurch (4 miles to the east), Poole and Wimborne Minster.
Homes in the South West
Homes in the South West range from coastal and rural properties in stone and slate to city terraces and modern estates, so extensions are designed to match the local materials.

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.
