Homes in County Tyrone
Northern Ireland has a high proportion of detached houses and bungalows outside the cities, which often suit side extensions, rear extensions and upward extensions.
What is included in a house-to-flat conversion in Cookstown?
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.
- Feasibility check against local planning policy
- Fire separation and sound insulation between flats
- Separate electrics, heating and metering
What will a house-to-flat conversion cost?
Typical ranges for house-to-flat conversions. Ground conditions, access and specification move the final figure, which we fix in writing before work starts.
Priced on survey.
Do you need permission for a house-to-flat conversion in Cookstown?
In Northern Ireland the council handles both planning and building control. Permitted development rules are set by the Planning (General Permitted Development) Order (Northern Ireland) 2015, and there is no party wall act, so we agree access and protection with neighbours in writing.
This needs full planning permission from the council in Northern Ireland, plus building control approval.
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.
How does the project run?
- Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
- Free site visit. We measure up, look at access, drains and the structure, and talk through options and budget.
- Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
- Build and hand over. Our teams build to the programme, building control inspects, and you get the completion paperwork at the end.
