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 do you get with 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.

What will a house-to-flat conversion cost?

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.

Do you need permission for a house-to-flat conversion in Tottenham?

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 can change the price or programme?

Some councils restrict the loss of family houses or limit flat conversions in certain streets.
Sound insulation between flats is tested on completion.

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.

What are the main building regulations issues?

Fire separation between flats, protected escape routes, sound insulation and separate services.

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.
