How can someone tell if their loft is suitable for conversion?
Determining if your loft is suitable for conversion involves several key assessments, and at Plandome, we provide expert guidance through this process. Here’s how we evaluate your loft for conversion:

3. Access & Layout: We evaluate the current access to the loft and how it integrates with the rest of your home. We also consider the layout and how it can be optimized for your intended use, whether it’s a bedroom, office, or additional living space.
4. Planning Regulations: We review local planning regulations to ensure your loft conversion complies with zoning laws and building codes. This includes checking for any restrictions or requirements specific to your area.
5. Utilities & Insulation: We assess the feasibility of adding essential utilities such as heating, electricity, and plumbing. Proper insulation is also a key factor, ensuring the converted loft is energy-efficient and comfortable.
