What goes into 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.
- Feasibility check against local planning policy
- Planning application and layouts to space standards
- Separate electrics, heating and metering
What will a house-to-flat conversion cost?
Indicative costs for house-to-flat conversions. London and the South East usually sit towards the top of each range.

Planning and building rules in Hinckley
In England we deal with the council’s planning team for permission or a lawful development certificate, with building control (the council or a registered building control approver) for inspections, and with neighbours under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 where it applies.
Dividing a house into flats always needs planning permission in England.
What should I think about before starting?
- Each flat needs its own utilities and metering.
- Mortgage lenders and freehold arrangements need early legal advice.
How does the project run?
- 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.
- Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
- We build it. Work follows an agreed programme, with inspections at each stage and a final sign-off.
What people ask before starting
Does converting a house into flats need planning permission?
Yes, always. Subdividing a house into flats is development under planning law.
Can you help with the planning case?
Yes. We check the council’s policies first and only proceed with a design that has a realistic chance of approval.
Can you visit a house in Hinckley to quote?
Yes. After a short call we arrange a site visit to measure up and agree what the design needs to do, then send a written price.
