Homes in the North West
Terraced housing is a defining feature of many North West towns, which brings party walls and narrow access into most projects, with more space to extend on suburban semis.
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
- Planning application and layouts to space standards
- Separate electrics, heating and metering
How much does a house-to-flat conversion cost in Chadderton?

Priced on survey.
What approvals does a house-to-flat conversion need in England?
English projects need planning clearance from the local council, building regulations sign-off from building control, and party wall notices where the work is on or near a shared boundary. We prepare and manage all three.
Dividing a house into flats always needs planning permission in England. Councils assess flat sizes (many use the nationally described space standard), parking, bins, cycle storage and the effect on family housing supply.
What should I think about before starting?
- Some councils restrict the loss of family houses or limit flat conversions in certain streets.

What happens after I enquire?
- Tell us about the project. Call, use the guide price tool or send the form with a few photos and a postcode.
- We visit and measure. A surveyor checks the house, the boundaries and the ground, and discusses what is realistic.
- 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.
