Homes in London

Much of London’s housing is Victorian and Edwardian terraces, which is why side return extensions, rear dormers and mansards are so common. Many streets are in conservation areas, and several boroughs use Article 4 directions that remove some permitted development rights.

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.

House-to-flat conversions: common questions

How much does a flat conversion cost?

It varies too much to give a reliable guide figure, so we price each one on survey. The reduced 5% VAT rate can apply where the number of dwellings changes.

Can you help with the planning case?

Yes. We check the council’s policies first and only proceed with a design that has a realistic chance of approval.

Can you visit a house in Southall to quote?

Yes. After a short call we arrange a site visit to measure up and agree what the design needs to do, then send a written price.
