Naturally, this is only a possibility if you're not actually utilizing your garage for parking your car. If it is simply sitting there acting as a rubbish dump, then it might be possible to raise the market value of you property by around ten percent by shelling out a few thousand pounds of your savings on a garage conversion.

You will get the most reliable advice about the various possibilities that your converted garage may be used for, by calling in a specialist garage conversion contractor. Ideas could include adding a home cinema, generating an additional bedroom as your family grows or creating a new downstairs bathroom.

If you've got the intention to sell your property in the foreseeable future, a garage conversion may possibly make your property more attractive to prospective buyers.

Depending on what use you want to put it to, more or less any kind of garage is suited to conversion. Both single and double garages can certainly be converted, although a single garage will only have about 18m2 of floor space and is scarcely large enough to get your car in. The somewhat limited size of single garages is part of the explanation why lots of property owners in Ockbrook don't even bother to use them for parking cars. Frequently you'll observe their cars parked on the street or on the driveway, whilst the inside is stuffed with lawn mowers, tools, toys and cycles and various miscellaneous clobber. If you are altering a double garage you're going to have a good deal more area with which to work, and this will give you more choice in relation to what you are going to turn it into.

There are a handful of solutions to this predicament however, and one might be to forget your garage and convert your loft instead. Another might be to do the conversion on your garage after moving your workshop into a suitable shed. You will find that there are plenty of prime quality sheds available that could pretty easily be used for a workshop if you've got plenty of room in your backyard, leaving you free to convert your garage into valuable additional living space.

If you decide to go ahead with a garage conversion you'll need to find a reliable Ockbrook builder to undertake the job. It's always best to pick one who focuses on basement conversions, garage conversions and loft space conversions, rather than just any general building company.

Half-Garage Conversions Ockbrook

Despite the fact that Ockbrook garage conversions are most often viewed as Permitted Development (PD), there might be some situations where an application for "change of use" is turned down by the local authorities. If you live in an area of special interest, in a listed building, in a conservation area or on a new housing development, this problem could quite easily transpire.

The most commonplace reason for refusal is for properties on a new housing estate, where the local authorities want to avoid changing the look of the area, and have set rules about keeping all the available garage spaces intact.

It's more the appearance of your garage door that's going to be important in this situation, and it shouldn't be that much of a problem provided that this is unaffected. You could still create some useful extra living area, without changing the overall look of your home, by opting for a "half-garage" conversion, whereby you leave the entrance and some of the garage alone, and convert the other half of it into a utility room, home office or children's playroom.

Another advantage of this solution is that it will be considerably cheaper than a complete garage conversion, so if you are operating within a strict budget, this may be a possibility.

Garage Conversions - How Much do They Cost?

One of the great benefits of remodeling a garage to get further living space in your home is it is by far the cheaper approach.

This is in comparison to approximately £40,000 for a brick extension or a loft conversion. Of course the space that's gained is limited somewhat but is not at all insignificant. it could easily be used for an extra bedroom, a play room, a kitchen or a dining room. Precisely what the cost of a garage conversion is will depend on not simply your garage's area but the extent of the work which has to be carried out to accomplish it. This will of course include factors such as whether a structural engineer is needed, whether the footings need reinforcing, whether the ceiling needs raising, the cost of planning and design fees and whether the walls, floor and roof are stable.
