A garage is a popular room that many families consider ideal for a conversion if they struggle for space.
A garage conversion is a sensible and affordable alternative to moving house, and can also be more cost-effective than an extension as you are using the existing space that you already have.
A lot of homeowners have a garage that they don't use for a vehicle and instead use the space as storage, but sometimes simply changing what you use the space for can drastically add to the property's value.
A garage conversion can transform this underutilised room to create extra living space that increases your home's value, without the hassle of moving.
Create More Space
A report by Santander Bank shows how 650,000 of the 9.3 million private garages in the UK have been turned into bedrooms.
Whilst an extra bedroom is the most popular choice for a garage conversion, an extra 470,000 garages will undergo conversion into additional living space such as offices, game rooms, kitchens, lounges, dining rooms, and leisure spaces.
A garage conversion can unlock your property's potential and turn your underutilised garage space into a versatile room that can provide the extra space your family needs.
Work With Garage Conversion Experts
A garage conversion has many benefits but there are a few factors you should consider before undergoing any project to help you understand what's involved in transforming your space.
Part of this is consulting a local builder as the amount of work needed can change throughout the project. The project might have to involve structural aspects in addition to electrical or plumbing work.
This work will typically not require planning permission as long as it is internal and you are not making the garage bigger. You should consult with your local planning authority to make sure as failure to obtain the right permission can create a lot of hassle later on.
