Homes in the North West
Terraced housing is a defining feature of many North West towns, which brings party walls and narrow access into most projects, with more space to extend on suburban semis.
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
- Kitchens, bathrooms and finishes

Do you need permission for a house-to-flat conversion in Kirkby?
Projects in England go through two separate checks. Planning (or confirmation that the work is permitted development) comes from the district, borough or unitary council, and building regulations approval comes from the council’s building control team or a registered building control approver. Where work touches a shared wall or digs near a neighbour’s foundations, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies.
Dividing a house into flats always needs planning permission in England.
What should Kirkby homeowners check first?
- Each flat needs its own utilities and metering.
- Mortgage lenders and freehold arrangements need early legal advice.
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.
- We build it. Work follows an agreed programme, with inspections at each stage and a final sign-off.
