Covering Wantage
Our coverage around Wantage (OX12) also includes Didcot (8 miles to the east) and Abingdon.
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 is included in a house-to-flat conversion in Wantage?
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
- Fire separation and sound insulation between flats
- Bin, cycle and amenity space works
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.
What approvals does a house-to-flat conversion need in England?
In England we deal with the council’s planning team for permission or a lawful development certificate, with building control (the council or a registered building control approver) for inspections, and with neighbours under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 where it applies.
Dividing a house into flats always needs planning permission in England.
What should Wantage homeowners check first?
- Each flat needs its own utilities and metering.
- Sound insulation between flats is tested on completion.
What happens after I enquire?

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.
How long does a conversion take?
Typically 16 to 30 weeks on site after approvals.
Can you visit a house in Wantage 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.
