What does a house-to-flat conversion involve?
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.
- Planning application and layouts to space standards
- Fire separation and sound insulation between flats

What approvals does a house-to-flat conversion need in Scotland?
In Scotland the key step is the building warrant, which must be granted before work begins. Planning permission is decided separately by the council, and work on shared walls is handled under your title deeds rather than a party wall act.
This needs planning permission and a building warrant from your council in Scotland before work starts. We prepare both applications.
