The first step is to find out if your garage is suitable for conversion
* You have to check your property deeds for any restrictive clauses in your lease
* The other most important point is to assess the existing structure for the soundness of its foundations, walls and roof. This will determine can it be converted into a liveable space.
Put your ideas into design drawings
The drawings will help you visualize your project and make sure that you’re clear about the finished outcome before you begin. Scaled drawings will also help the builder confirm what the finished project will be like, down to minor details such as the position of the power sockets, light fittings and radiators.
Do I Need Planning Permission for Garage Conversion London?
Planning permission is not usually required to convert a garage into a living space, as long as the work is internal and does not involve enlarging the building. In some cases permitted development rights have been removed by the condition which may prevent a garage to be converted without planning permission. Commonly this is the case for properties located in a housing estate or in a conservation area.
Do I Need Building Regulations Approval?
The conversion of a garage into habitable space normally requires approval under the Building Regulations, as this type of conversion involves ‘a change of use’.
You have to notify your local council of the upcoming project by submitting a building notice or full plans application.
A building control officer will probably have to inspect your conversion several times during the project to make sure that everything is satisfactory and in compliance with the Building Regulations so they can issue a certificate of completion.

With your design finalized and any required approvals in place, your conversion project is on the RIGHT way to success.
