Loft conversions in London – the lost space gem

Wednesday, September 9th, 2009

Houses in London are associated with being full of character and potential for an extra room to be created. Loft conversions in London are becoming more common as people are realising that they can easily create a new floor of living space through this simple conversion.

The problem is that most people don’t know that sometimes it might not be as easy at it seems. When intending on a loft conversion in your London home you will have to first consider whether or not it will be a liveable space, such as a bedroom, or just an extra storeroom.

The reason for this classification is that when you do sell your home you are not allowed to legally call a loft conversion a bedroom unless it meets current fire regulations and has a proper staircase leading to it. This means that you should not put in any steep stairs that will make it difficult to get to the loft.
