House-to-flat conversions in West Sussex

Covering West Sussex

We cover West Sussex, including Crawley, Worthing, Bognor Regis and Littlehampton, and the towns around them.

Homes in the South East

The South East has a lot of 1930s and post-war semi-detached housing, well suited to rear extensions and hip-to-gable loft conversions, alongside period properties in conservation areas that need a more careful design.

What goes into 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 people ask before starting

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.

Can you visit a house in West Sussex 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.
