Why Have a Loft or Basement Conversion?
If you need more space but do not want to extend outward on to your garden why not consider a loft conversion or a basement conversion? Loft conversions and basement conversions are becoming more popular due to uncertainty over house prices and the high hidden costs of moving (solicitors fees, estate agents fees etc). Many people choose to have a loft conversion or basement conversion because they want more space but like the house or area they are already in and, although they want more space they do not want to move. The space in a loft or attic can be as much as 30% of the total floor area of the home. It usually only contains a cold water storage cistern and chimney stack. In almost all cases it is wasted space that can be turned into habitable space. If the attic is used for storage there is no need to lose all of this storage space as some attic space can be retained.
