Outside Space
When looking into house extensions most often outside space such as your garden or driveway will be occupied during this process. However, this is not the case for loft conversions as you are building upwards avoiding the need to use any outside space. Due to less major structural work as well a loft conversion is a cheaper option than an extension.
Property Value
One of the main incentives for a loft conversion is the value it adds to your property. Nationwide studies have found that on average it adds about 10-20% value to your home by adding a loft conversion.
Light
Because of the height associated with a loft conversion the opportunity to optimise the amount of natural light shown can be optimised based on the angle, height and positioning. They are much less likely to be blocked by other houses or trees; the use of Velux windows in loft conversions is the main enabler for this.
Living Space
Adding a loft conversion is the perfect way of adding extra living space to your home. This space can be used as an additional bedroom, bathroom or living room, the options are endless.
