What is 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.
- Building warrant application and completion certificate
- Planning application and layouts to space standards
- Fire separation and sound insulation between flats
How much should I budget for a house-to-flat conversion?
What house-to-flat conversions typically cost. These are guide ranges; the written quote for your house replaces them.
Priced on survey.
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.
What can change the price or programme?
- Sound insulation between flats is tested on completion.
- Mortgage lenders and freehold arrangements need early legal advice.
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.
- Survey at your house. We look at the existing structure, services and access, and agree what the design needs to achieve.
- Drawings, approvals, written quote. We prepare the design, apply for the approvals it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing.
- Build and hand over. Our teams build to the programme, building control inspects, and you get the completion paperwork at the end.
