House-to-flat conversions in Epsom

Covering Epsom

Epsom sits 15 miles north-east of Guildford, with Ewell 2 miles to the north-east and Banstead 3 miles to the east.

Homes in the South East

Housing across the South East mixes inter-war semis, post-war estates and older cottages in villages and market towns, so rear and side extensions, hip-to-gable lofts and garage conversions all come up regularly.

What do you get with a house-to-flat conversion?

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.
