Covering Manchester
We work in Manchester (M1, M2, M3) and the places around it, including Salford, Old Trafford and Droylsden.
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 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
- Planning application and layouts to space standards
- Bin, cycle and amenity space works
What is the guide price for a house-to-flat conversion in Manchester?
Guide prices for house-to-flat conversions, including VAT where it applies. Your fixed price is confirmed in writing after the survey.
Priced on survey.
What approvals does a house-to-flat conversion need in England?
English projects need planning clearance from the local council, building regulations sign-off from building control, and party wall notices where the work is on or near a shared boundary. We prepare and manage all three.
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.
What should Manchester homeowners check first?
- Some councils restrict the loss of family houses or limit flat conversions in certain streets.
- Each flat needs its own utilities and metering.
