Extend up to increase your property value

One of the most significant financial benefits of a loft conversion is that it can significantly increase the value of your home. According to a study by the Nationwide Building Society, a loft conversion can add up to 20% to the value of a property in London.

Reduce your energy bills

Loft conversions can also help to reduce your energy bills. This is because they can provide additional space for insulation, which can help to keep your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. Additionally, loft conversions can provide additional space for solar panels, which can generate electricity for your home. According to the Energy Saving Trust, a loft conversion can save you an average of £270 per year on your energy bills.

Save money on moving costs

If you’re considering moving to a larger home in London, a loft conversion can be a more cost-effective option. Moving costs can be significant, especially in London. A loft conversion can allow you to add extra space to your existing home without having to move, which can save you a lot of money. A study by MyBuilder found that the average cost of moving home in London is £12,000, while the average cost of a loft conversion is £40,000.

Create a more versatile home

A loft conversion can also make your home more versatile. You can use the extra space to create a new bedroom, bathroom, playroom, home office, or even a second living room. This can make your home more functional and enjoyable for you and your family.

Other financial gains and benefits

In addition to the financial gains listed above, loft conversions can also offer a number of other benefits, such as:

• Increased natural light
• Improved views
• A unique living space
• A more efficient home

So Why Should You Explore An “L Shaped” Loft Conversion?
Often, whether you get a loft conversion or not was a simple decision about giving you more space at home. It may be that your family had grown in size, you needed more space to work from home or that you wanted to add value to your property to make it more attractive to a greater number of potential buyers. Sometimes moving to a bigger property just isn’t an option and this is where a good quality loft conversion really comes into its own.

We have all experienced the pains of moving house it is both an expensive exercise and one of the most stressful experiences you can go through. It can be a serious hit to your bank balance and not just in terms of the cost of the property itself; fees and supplements, removals and stamp duty, not to mention the cost of refurbishment can mean that costs quickly spiral far beyond what you would like. Throw in the rising cost of house buying and the need for substantial deposits and that loft conversion is looking like an even better option!

A Custom Loft designed loft conversion can add a terrific amount of value to your property as well as maximising space in your home and creating a stunning living area/space.
So choosing the correct company and getting this right will allow your loft conversion to become a superb investment as well as a project to remember for you and for your family.
A quality loft conversion can add four time the value of a brand new kitchen, bedroom or even bathroom to your property. But don’t take our word for this, speak to local residential house sales agencies and they will tell you that a well designed and thought out and executed loft conversion is often top of their buyers’ wish lists and something that they look for in properties.

Whilst there is some initial outlay to get the project off the ground and completed to a high standard; the long term investment and value added will far outweigh this initial expense and that’s not to mention the extra space that the whole family will benefit from…. and when you are ready to up sticks and move on, you’re virtually guaranteed to sell at a higher price than you paid and bank yourself some tidy profit.

So What is “L Shaped” Dormer Loft Conversion?
An L-shaped dormer conversion is where two dormer builds are constructed in a way that they join together. Usually one dormer will be built on the rear roof and the other on the main roof which gives it the unmistakable, instantly creating that recognisable L-shape.

The shape itself means that L-shaped dormers are only suitable for certain types of property, mainly either Edwardian or Victorian properties where there has been an addition to the original house at the rear.

This type of build is a great way to get some more space out of a property like this especially if you own a mid-terrace property.

We Design & Create High Spec, Light & Airy Loft Conversions
Loft conversions have to be treated as more than just a box on a roof. They are to be the successful addition to your property that you want them to be. They have to be light an airy and the good news is that this is easily achieved as you have so much roof space to deal with and therefore the potential for masses of natural. daylight.

You can channel so much light without the need for wide out skylight space; a small aperture on the roof can give you the same quality and depth of light as a far larger opening (like a window) on the side of a property. In terms of natural light, you literally have so many options available to you… when it comes to loft conversions as they can be absolutely flooded with light.

For greater views there are options such as bi-fold & large full height doors to allow you to capture the entire new views you will have available to you.

With so much natural light at your disposal, your loft space with L shaped dormer loft conversion will appear so much bigger and more spacious than it actually is.

What really sets this loft conversion aside is the added space available by the open plan design. By moving the door on to the lower landing we have managed to make use of the custom glass balustrade and open landing, drawing in significant light and space in to the room.

In addition to the open plan master bedroom we created an open plan shower room with fully tiled cubicle shower, pedestal sink and toilet, and for that little bit of added privacy the client added a lovely curtain as a room separator.

Overall the Juliette balcony, open plan master bedroom and shower room have added significant space to this mid-terrace victorian terrace and we are delighted with the result.

Building out of the gable end, plus the addition of a rear dormer added substantial living space, allowing us to place, an enclosed landing on the second floor, with doors to modern shower room and a master bedroom. The shower rooms included a corner shower unit, floating and built in sink with toilet. The room was fully tiled, with double glazed, frosted glass window to the rear of the property.

The master bedroom has Velux windows to the front, creating a bright and spacious feeling, with a rear dormer space allowing for full head height across a large portion of the bedroom, with double glazed windows to the rear.
We were very pleased with the outcome of this loft

With the available width, clear head space and depth of the property it was easy to convert this loft in to an impressive space without the need to add a rear dormer.

The addition of 5 very large roof windows, and the use of the available void in the eaves makes this a practical, light and spacious conversion. In addition we custom built a beautiful set of wardrobes in to the far wall of the loft, providing ample storage for their daughters clothing.

We are absolutely delighted with this loft, the decorative finish of white walls, vaulted ceiling and real wood floor really give that feeling of luxury and space.

With an open plan landing with side window bringing in light to the hallway, you lead up to an impressive master bedroom, with Velux windows to front, and a gorgeous Juliet balcony to rear, over looking the forest behind. The addition of the walnut built in wardrobes in to the eaves and to the adjoining wall of the en-suite add significant storage space and character. The en-suite is is fully tiled with a modern suite, that still looks fantastic almost 6 years on.

All in all we are really proud of this loft, and for anyone considering a quality loft conversion this loft stands the test of time as far as we are concerned. You only have to read the testimonial to see our client is as happy with the loft as we are.

The master bedroom has two Velux windows to front, Juliette balcony to rear, with access to the en-suite shower room with walk in, double width, wet room style shower. Utilising the eave space at the front for storage, the client was able to fit a large double bed, with a large double wardrobe beside it, with ample dressing space, flooded by natural light from the balcony and double glazed doors.

One unique feature to mention is the use of light in the hallway as shown in the photos. Being a end-of-terrace we were able to add an additional window at the top of the stairs, as well as use the space on the first floor, to ensure we were able to avoid a dark first floor landing, which can sometimes be unavoidable when adding a loft conversion.

Overall we have added significant living space to this large home, beautifully decorated home, and we are proud of the finished result.
