Homes in the East of England
The East of England has a large stock of post-war and modern estate housing alongside period homes in market towns, which makes garage conversions, single-storey extensions and loft conversions popular.
What is a house-to-flat conversion?
We assess the house against the council’s policies on flat sizes, parking, bins and cycle storage before any design work, then design layouts to the space standards your council uses. On site the critical work is fire separation, sound insulation between floors, separate services and meters, and protected escape routes.

- Separate electrics, heating and metering

Dividing a house into flats always needs planning permission in England.

What happens after I enquire?
- Send us the details. Give us a postcode, a rough idea of size and some photos, by phone, form or the guide price tool.
- We visit and measure. A surveyor checks the house, the boundaries and the ground, and discusses what is realistic.
- 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.
Questions about a house-to-flat conversion in Letchworth Garden City
How much does a flat conversion cost?
It varies too much to give a reliable guide figure, so we price each one on survey. The reduced 5% VAT rate can apply where the number of dwellings changes.
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 Letchworth Garden City 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.
