Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about flat conversion pricing and our process.

In most cases, yes. Converting a house into flats is a material change of use and requires planning permission from your local authority. We handle the full application process including design, submission and planning officer liaison.
Flat conversions must meet requirements for fire safety, sound insulation, structural stability, ventilation and drainage. Each flat needs its own protected entrance and means of escape. Our building regulation drawings address all of these.
This depends on the size of the property, the local authority's planning policies and minimum space standards. We assess your property and advise on the optimal number of units during the initial consultation.
Design takes 4-6 weeks, planning decisions take 8-13 weeks depending on application type, and building regulation drawings take 5-7 working days. Construction timelines vary depending on the scale of work.
Yes. Structural design is essential for flat conversions, particularly for removing or altering load-bearing walls, creating new openings, and ensuring the building can support the modified layout safely.
Yes. We handle both self-contained flat conversions and Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMO) projects. HMOs have different planning and licensing requirements which we factor into our designs.
