Homes in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire
In Scotland many families extend bungalows and semis, while tenement flats bring shared ownership of roofs and walls that needs agreeing early.
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.
- Building warrant application and completion certificate
- Fire separation and sound insulation between flats
- Kitchens, bathrooms and finishes
What will a house-to-flat conversion cost?
Guide prices for house-to-flat conversions, including VAT where it applies. Your fixed price is confirmed in writing after the survey.
Priced on survey.
How is a house-to-flat conversion approved in Fraserburgh?
Projects in Scotland need a building warrant from the council before any building work starts, and a completion certificate once it is finished. Planning permission is a separate decision. The Party Wall etc. Act does not apply in Scotland; shared walls are governed by title deeds and the law of the tenement where relevant.
This needs planning permission and a building warrant from your council in Scotland before work starts. We prepare both applications.
What should I think about before starting?
- Each flat needs its own utilities and metering.
- Sound insulation between flats is tested on completion.
How does the project run?
- Send us the details. Give us a postcode, a rough idea of size and some photos, by phone, form or the guide price tool.
- Survey at your house. We look at the existing structure, services and access, and agree what the design needs to achieve.
- Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
- Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
