Covering Oxfordshire
Our coverage across Oxfordshire includes Oxford, Banbury, Abingdon and Bicester.
Homes in the South East
Many South East homes are inter-war or post-war semis and detached houses with room for rear and side extensions, while historic town centres and villages bring conservation area and listed building controls.
What goes into 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
- Kitchens, bathrooms and finishes
- Bin, cycle and amenity space works
What is the guide price for a house-to-flat conversion in Oxfordshire?
Indicative costs for house-to-flat conversions. London and the South East usually sit towards the top of each range.
Priced on survey.
How is a house-to-flat conversion approved in Oxfordshire?
In England we deal with the council’s planning team for permission or a lawful development certificate, with building control (the council or a registered building control approver) for inspections, and with neighbours under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 where it applies.
Dividing a house into flats always needs planning permission in England.
What should Oxfordshire homeowners check first?
- Each flat needs its own utilities and metering.
- Mortgage lenders and freehold arrangements need early legal advice.
What are the steps?
- Tell us about the project. Call, use the guide price tool or send the form with a few photos and a postcode.
- Free site visit. We measure up, look at access, drains and the structure, and talk through options and budget.
- Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
- Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.

How long does a conversion take?
Typically 16 to 30 weeks on site after approvals.
