Homes in the South East
Housing across the South East mixes inter-war semis, post-war estates and older cottages in villages and market towns, so rear and side extensions, hip-to-gable lofts and garage conversions all come up regularly.
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.
- Feasibility check against local planning policy
- Kitchens, bathrooms and finishes

How much does a house-to-flat conversion cost in Rottingdean?
What house-to-flat conversions typically cost. These are guide ranges; the written quote for your house replaces them.
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 I think about before starting?
- Some councils restrict the loss of family houses or limit flat conversions in certain streets.
- Each flat needs its own utilities and metering.
What happens after I enquire?
- Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
- Survey at your house. We look at the existing structure, services and access, and agree what the design needs to achieve.
- Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
- We build it. Work follows an agreed programme, with inspections at each stage and a final sign-off.
