Covering Broadstairs
Broadstairs sits 40 miles east of Maidstone, with Ramsgate 2 miles to the south-west and Margate 3 miles to the north-west.
Homes in the South East
The South East has a lot of 1930s and post-war semi-detached housing, well suited to rear extensions and hip-to-gable loft conversions, alongside period properties in conservation areas that need a more careful design.
What does a house-to-flat conversion involve?
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.
- Feasibility check against local planning policy
- Separate electrics, heating and metering
- Bin, cycle and amenity space works

Dividing a house into flats always needs planning permission in England.
What should Broadstairs homeowners check first?
- Some councils restrict the loss of family houses or limit flat conversions in certain streets.
