House-to-flat conversions in Lincolnshire

Covering Lincolnshire

We cover Lincolnshire, including Lincoln, Grimsby, Scunthorpe and Boston, and the towns around them.

Homes in the East Midlands

The East Midlands combines red-brick terraces in the cities with a lot of post-war and modern estate housing, so rear extensions, garage conversions and loft conversions are all common.

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.

Dividing a house into flats always needs planning permission in England. Councils assess flat sizes (many use the nationally described space standard), parking, bins, cycle storage and the effect on family housing supply.

Some councils restrict the loss of family houses or limit flat conversions in certain streets.
Sound insulation between flats is tested on completion.
