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.
- Planning application and layouts to space standards
- Separate electrics, heating and metering
- Kitchens, bathrooms and finishes
What is the guide price for a house-to-flat conversion in Selkirk?
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 Scotland?
In Scotland the key step is the building warrant, which must be granted before work begins. Planning permission is decided separately by the council, and work on shared walls is handled under your title deeds rather than a party wall act.
This needs planning permission and a building warrant from your council in Scotland before work starts.
What should I think about before starting?
- Each flat needs its own utilities and metering.
- Sound insulation between flats is tested on completion.
What happens after I enquire?
- Tell us about the project. Call, use the guide price tool or send the form with a few photos and a postcode.
- We visit and measure. A surveyor checks the house, the boundaries and the ground, and discusses what is realistic.
- Drawings, approvals, written quote. We prepare the design, apply for the approvals it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing.
- We build it. Work follows an agreed programme, with inspections at each stage and a final sign-off.

Typically 16 to 30 weeks on site after approvals.
