House-to-flat conversions: common questions
Does converting a house into flats need planning permission?
Yes, always. Subdividing a house into flats is development under planning law.
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.
Who deals with the council for a project in Tipton?
We do. We prepare the drawings, submit planning or permitted development paperwork if needed, and arrange building control inspections.
