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

What approvals does a house-to-flat conversion need in Scotland?

Scottish projects follow a different process from England: the council issues a building warrant before work starts and accepts a completion certificate at the end, alongside any planning permission needed. We prepare both applications.

This needs planning permission and a building warrant from your council in Scotland before work starts.

What should Linlithgow homeowners check first?

  • Each flat needs its own utilities and metering.
  • Mortgage lenders and freehold arrangements need early legal advice.

  2. Survey at your house. We look at the existing structure, services and access, and agree what the design needs to achieve.
  3. Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
