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.

Our new head of project management!

We are delighted to announce that David Willis FRICS will be taking over at the helm of our loft conversion project management team after Ian Burden has unfortunately had to step down from the position for family reasons.

As a fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) with over thirty years experience in the industry, and a former district surveyor at a south-west London Borough, David has the experience and passion to deliver a first class project management service to our clients. Some of our clients will already have met David in his role as project manager for their own loft conversion and will know that his can-do professional approach and good sense of humour are a refreshing change when it comes to project management in the loft conversion industry.

We remain the only loft conversion company in London to guarantee that your project will be managed by a chartered building surveyor. Why is this important? Well, as members of RICS, our project managers have at least ten years experience and hold professional qualifications in property and construction. This means they know the best way to manage and build your loft conversion to achieve maximum space and the best quality.

RICS members are also bound by a tight code of conduct and hold a minimum of £1m of professional indemnity insurance that will reassure you of our commitment to quality loft conversion projects. RICS is recognised as the gold-standard of property professionals worldwide, so why settle for anyone less than the best to manage your loft conversion?
