Why London Home Owners Are Looking To Loft Conversions For Expansion

June 15, 2011 - PRLog -- More home owners are considering loft conversions as a way of increasing space in their current homes instead of selling and moving on in a stagnant housing market. By opting for a loft conversion a house owner can add an extra bedroom, study, home office, playroom or basic multi-function storage area to their home.

An increasing amount of people are now working from home and having an office or study to work in is essential. It can also be used as a legitimate tax deduction.

Adding extra loft spaces to your home should almost certainly add value to your home if carried out in the correct way.

The value will sometimes depend on other houses with loft conversions in your area. It may be wise to contact local estate agents to check that loft conversion will benefit you financially if that is your main goal.

It is very important to discuss your project with a trusted architect, builder or a contractor to plan out the project in terms of whether planning permission is needed and that they are adequately licensed and insured.

You should also use it as an opportunity to start with a blank canvas in terms of design ideas.  You could, for example, have the latest electric under floor heating installed, skylight window controls and en suite bathroom designs.

Planning permission is rarely needed for loft conversions making them a top choice of homeowners when it comes to increasing space and value.
