Flat conversion refers to the process of converting a larger residential property, such as a house or a building with multiple units, into smaller, self-contained flats or apartments. Flat conversion is a common way to increase the number of housing units in each area and can be a cost-effective alternative to building new homes. In the UK, the process of flat conversion is governed by various laws and regulations, including the Building Act 1984, the Planning Act 1990, and the Party Wall etc. Act 1996. These laws establish guidelines for the construction and alteration of buildings, including flat conversions, and outline the rights and responsibilities of property owners and developers.
We always try to convert a residential property into flats, but the property owner or developer must first obtain planning permission from the local planning authority. This process involves submitting detailed plans and drawings of the proposed conversion, including the layout of the flats and any changes to the building’s structure. And then the planning authority will review the plans to ensure that they meet all necessary requirements and regulations, including those related to safety, accessibility, and environmental impact.
Once planning permission has been granted, our next step is for the property owner or developer to begin the process of converting the property. This typically involves making changes to the building’s structure, such as adding or removing walls and installing new electrical, plumbing, and heating systems. It is important to note that flat conversion can be a complex and time-consuming process, and it is important to work with experienced professionals to ensure that the work is carried out safely and efficiently, which is our prime concern.
