Why a Loft Conversion?
The need for greater living space is often quoted as the deciding factor on choosing a loft conversion. There are real economic benefits in deciding not to move but add to the quality of home life by undertaking a project such as a loft conversion.
It is calculated that a loft conversion costs on average £100 per square foot and can add almost 20% to the value of a 3 bed roomed one bathroom house. A loft conversion will not eat into valuable garden space and is only a 1/3rd of the cost of developing the basement.
Phil Spencer, of location location has recently been quoted as saying "It is easier to build space than buy it". The loft conversion maximises the living space for your home.
