Extensions and Conversions

When considering refurbishment, there are a number of things you need to consider: don’t let your tenants to it, and don’t use shoddy tradesmen – this page will explain why.

Adding value to your property can be a great investment for the future, offering the opportunity for capital gains when you eventually come to sell your property.

Loft converstions and extensions are the traditional ways to add value, but each have very specific planning requirements so make sure you know the facts before you take the plunge.

To organise a loft conversion or extension successfully, you will need to develop a step-by-step plan, so that you cover all the bases and spend your money wisely.

With good planning, and an awareness of all the relevant safety requirements, the shrewd landlord can build a strong property portfolio ready for when it's time to sell.
