What are the most important loft conversion considerations for landlords?
So, what should landlords consider before opting for a loft conversion? Well, there are several things to think about, including:
- Fire safety- there are strict regulations and legal requirements involving loft conversions, on top of those that already apply to landlords. As a result, you will need to work with a professional team to ensure that your loft conversion meets standards and regulations, in order to get the most out of your property and investment.
- Space available- the most cost efficient type of loft conversion involves simply converting the space in the loft or attic into a usable space or another room in the house. To make sure your property can capitalize on this, you will need to make sure there is enough headroom in the space available. There needs to be a minimum of 2.2m at the apex. A professional team will be able to evaluate your space and give you more advice and information about how to transform the space effectively.
- Increase the value- ultimately, a loft conversion will increase the value of your property by up to 20%. This means that for most landlords, this could be a worthwhile investment.
