Loft Conversions in Greenwich

Divi Design – for Loft Conversions in Greenwich

Loft conversions have never really gone out of fashion, and they are increasingly popular in Greenwich and nearby areas. Modern materials and construction techniques lend themselves well to creating loft conversions that are light and well insulated, adding genuine flexibility to how you can enjoy your home. Expanding upwards also means you don’t sacrifice important space in the garden.

Greenwich loft conversions meet a practical need and, at the same time, add value for the time when you come to sell.

At Divi Design we know the value of local knowledge and attention to detail. We’re Architectural Designers and Planning Specialists. We know the housing stock in and around Greenwich well – and we have in-depth experience of working with the local Planning regulations. We’ve completed numerous Greenwich loft conversions, with many satisfied clients.

Once we’ve understood your needs and priorities, we’ll guide you through the stages of creating a loft conversion. We’ll help with the Planning Application if one is necessary, or help secure confirmation that your work comes within Permitted Development Rights. We will be with you all the way from first ideas to signing off against Building Regulations. 

What is the cost of a loft conversion in Greenwich?

The size of your home, the type of conversion you want, the condition of the existing roof, and the purpose of your loft conversion – all these will affect the cost of loft conversions in Greenwich. Key factors will be 

• the size and type of the intended loft conversion
• how easy it is to access the roof
• the age of the house
• Additional features to be included

The details of the agreed design will be important. Dormer loft conversions in Greenwich will usually be the most economic. But, understandably, each conversion is unique and none are genuinely average. Also consider costs other than the cost of construction. You should include

• architectural designs, plans and specifications
• advice from a structural engineer and/or a party wall surveyor
• the application for Planning Permission or for a Certificate of Lawful Development
• Building Regulations inspections and approval.

For a Greenwich loft conversion, the simplest loft conversion may cost in the region of £30,000. More usually you should expect to pay a total of £40,000 to £65,000 depending on size and specifications.
