Covering Llanelli
Llanelli sits 13 miles south-east of Carmarthen, with Pontarddulais 6 miles to the north-east and Swansea 10 miles to the south-east.
Homes in Dyfed
Welsh homes include long terraces built into hillsides, stone cottages and modern estates, and sloping sites often shape how and where an extension can go.
What does a house-to-flat conversion involve?
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.
- Feasibility check against local planning policy
- Separate electrics, heating and metering
- Bin, cycle and amenity space works
What will a house-to-flat conversion cost?
Use these ranges to budget for house-to-flat conversions; the survey turns them into a fixed price for the agreed specification.
Priced on survey.
Planning and building rules in Llanelli
Planning decisions in Wales are made by the local council, using permitted development rules set by the Welsh Government rather than England’s. Building regulations in Wales have their own approved documents, and the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies to work on shared walls and boundaries.
This needs full planning permission from your council in Wales. We prepare and submit the application and deal with the planning officer on your behalf.
What should I think about before starting?
- Each flat needs its own utilities and metering.
- Mortgage lenders and freehold arrangements need early legal advice.
