FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT LOFT CONVERSIONS IN EDINBURGH….
CAN MY LOFT BE CONVERTED?
99% of lofts can be converted; the difference is how far you have to go to make it a usable living space.
To convert within your existing loft space, you’ll need a minimum head height of 2.3m from the top of the floor joist to the bottom of the apex. As experts in loft conversions, get in touch for a no-obligation quote.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST FOR A LOFT CONVERSION IN EDINBURGH?
Unfortunately, there isn’t a simple answer to this, as attic conversions can vary in size and complexity. It also depends on how you want your new loft space fitted out and how much of the building work will be done by your builder. The most significant factors in converting a roof/attic conversion are:
1) Is the current loft head height sufficient?
2) The type of loft that you require. Do you want or need a dormer, mansard, or hip-to-gable extension to make additional usable floor space?
3) How the space is to be fitted out, such as how many windows, bathroom or en-suites, or the possible addition of a balcony
4) How much of the work do you wish to complete yourself, if any.

HOW LONG DOES A LOFT CONVERSION TAKE TO COMPLETE?
Similar to the question of cost for a loft conversion, time frames are difficult to give a clear guideline. Many factors are involved with converting a loft/attic space, including those listed in the previous question.
To give you an idea of the timescale:
A Rear Dormer loft conversion on a bungalow, including the complete fitting of the bedroom and en-suite, will take between 4-6 weeks.
For more information about your loft and the timescales, contact our company on 0131 3080898 for further details.
WILL A LOFT CONVERSION ADD VALUE TO MY PROPERTY?
It most definitely will. Many customers are considering loft conversions instead of moving home. The main reason it adds up to 25% to the value of your home, it creates a great new living space, bedroom, or other helpful space within your home. And it is far cheaper than moving or an alternative extension. To find out more about loft conversion costs and adding value to your property, get in touch at hello@limitlessbsc.com
DO I NEED PLANNING PERMISSION/BUILDING WARRANT FOR A LOFT CONVERSION IN SCOTLAND?
Mainly, many lofts do not require planning permission/building warrant, as they fall under what is known as “permitted development.” This umbrella allows certain types of development to be completed as long as you do not live in a conservation area, or your building is listed.

10 REASONS TO GET A LOFT CONVERSION….
Still, thinking about getting a loft conversion in your home? There are many reasons for converting your loft, and the type of loft and the possibilities for using this space are plentiful! Below are the ten most common we hear from our customers.
1. INCREASING THE VALUE OF YOUR HOME
Investing in a loft conversion can add anywhere between 10-25% to the market value of your home. Whether you plan to sell soon or in the future, you will get more of a return from your property.
2. CREATING MORE LIVING SPACE
Extensions can be hugely expensive and difficult to get planning permission for. Loft/attic conversions quickly offer extra space in the family home and make the most of the property you own.
3. AN ADDITIONAL BATHROOM
If your son or daughter is older and you want to create a bit more privacy in the home for them or yourself, building a loft conversion will allow you to install a separate bathroom to cut down the early morning traffic jams in the house!
4. BUILDING UP INSTEAD OF OUT
Especially for those living in built-up areas in Edinburgh City Centre, you will feel lucky to own garden space on your property. Building up with a loft conversion makes more sense if you need more space than reducing your area outside.
5. MORE STORAGE
It’s a fact of life that we eventually start to fill up all the space in our homes, no matter how large. Loft conversions offer the perfect solution to store away the things you don’t want to dispose of, keeping them safe and accessible.
6. MORE INSULATION
Remember that heat always rises, and if the attic is poorly insulated, most heat in your home will disappear. A loft conversion adds a significant amount of further insulation, which can be felt with energy bills.
7. NO PLANNING PERMISSION
In most cases, planning permission will not be required to build your loft extension. In some cases, they can be constructed in as little as four weeks. Which such little hassle involved, you can see why more and more people are opting to convert their lofts.
8. CREATING STUNNING VIEWS
Whether you live in the city or overlook acres of green countryside, there’s little better than having a view of the surrounding area from your home. The extra height a loft conversion adds allows you to enjoy just that.
9. ENJOYING MORE NATURAL LIGHT
Natural light brings the inside of your home to life, and a loft conversion will help increase the amount that comes into your home. Before you know it, you’ll spend most of your day upstairs, basking in the warm sunshine!
10. RENTING OUT THE LOFT
With rent rates going through the roof, now is the perfect time to build a loft conversion and turn it into a studio flat. It can then be privately rented out in only a couple of months once completed.
