Our Services

We get planning permission and create full design proposals for all sorts of interventions including:

Single/double storey rear and side extension

Apart from rear and side extensions, additional living space can also be achieved through the conversion of the loft into a spacious habitable room such as an extra bedroom, a playroom or a home office.

Such projects maximise living space for a growing family, improve a family’s quality of life, and add value to the property.

Over the long years of our experience, we have designed and successfully obtained planning permission for a large number of such projects. See an example here.

To explore how a loft conversion and/or extension can provide solutions and add to the value of your home, give us a no-obligation telephone call on 07900085267.

Loft conversion

Additional living space can be achieved through the conversion of the loft into a spacious habitable room such as an extra bedroom, a playroom or a home office.

Such projects maximise living space for a growing family, improve a family’s quality of life, and add up to 20-25% value to the property.

Over the long years of our experience, we have designed and successfully obtained planning permission for a large number of such projects. See an example here.

Garden building

Over the recent years, social developments have given rise to increased need for additional quiet workspace: some workplaces have become fully remote or hybrid, whereas family members may continue to live together for longer they might have done in the past.

A suitable solution can be provided in properties that have ample space in the rear garden: an additional room with separate toilet and bathroom can provide extra living space as a home office, home gym, music studio, additional bedroom or even a granny flat. See an example here.

Garage conversion

Over the recent years, social developments have given rise to increased need for additional quiet workspace: some workplaces have become fully remote or hybrid, whereas family members may continue to live together for longer they might have done in the past. A convenient and economic solution is provided by existing garages, which in many cases have become obsolete for the purpose they were built (e.g. as family cars have grown in size.)

A garage conversion can provide extra living space as a home office, home gym, music studio, additional bedroom or even a granny flat. Here’s an example.

New build

Lease plans are routinely required by solicitors for Land Registration in respect of new builds, blocks of flats, conversion of a single dwelling into flats, or any other converted building.

One of our projects was commissioned by a property developer who saw the potential of the property, and with our input and expertise was able to secure planning permission for a 3-bedroom detached property on the side of the original one. Have a look at it here.

Do you think your property may have such potential?

Commercial projects

A commercial property may be given a new lease of life in response to changing conditions in a neighbourhood and new entrepreneurship.

Over the long years of our experience, we have worked on a number of such projects, including the transformation of a derelict, disused commercial property into a modern dry-cleaning business; the change of use of a retail premises into an A3 use (restaurant); an extension and improvements to an industrial warehouse.

Apart from such ‘change of use’ projects, we have also designed and successfully obtained planning permission for flats over existing commercial premises, thus maximising the potential of the space above the shop, and increasing the value of the existing property.

We also carry out miscellaneous applications for commercial projects such as designing shop front, including installation of awnings and signage.

Retrospective planning permission for conversion of house into flats

A family house or another property such as properties above shops may have the potential of conversion into flats, thus increasing the wealth inherent in the property.

We have carried out a considerable number of such projects, applying our extensive design experience to maximising the useful space of each flat, at the same time complying with flat design regulations in order to ensure that planning approval is granted without complications.

If you consider converting your family home or other property into flats, we provide advice in a 30-minute free consultation. Do give us a no-obligation telephone call on 07900085267.
