Advantages of a Loft Conversion for your South London Property

You will no doubt have seen countless loft conversions out and about
within your local and wider neighbourhood. In fact, they are so common
these days that we challenge anyone to find us a residential street in a
London postcode that hasnt had some form of loft conversion. Since
there are permitted development rights available for loft conversions,
they are easily one of the most common project types that we handle.

Whether
its a new master bedroom with en-suite, a home office, or even a cinema
room the possibilities for what a loft conversion can offer you almost
endless. As architectural designers in London we are perfectly placed to
offer you loft conversion ideas and advice. But what are the advantages
of a loft conversion to you? L.E.A.V.E.S is the answer, you might be
thinking what have plants got to do with my attic space? Take a read
below and all will be quite clear.

Light Increase the incoming light into your property 

Forgive
us for stating the obvious but the roof of your house is hit with the
most sunlight in comparison to any other part of your property. A loft
conversion can look to take advantage of this by adding in features such
as roof windows that will take advantage of this natural resource and
put it to great use. Natural light has many benefits such as improving
overall mental and physical health as well as improving sleep quality.
Depending on the use of the room it will also be an advantage in
reducing eye strain and potential headaches which can be an effect of
poor light or overuse of artificial lighting. We have plenty of loft
conversion ideas that will look to maximise the use of natural light
coming into your loft conversion and into other areas of the house using
clever design features to direct it towards more needed areas.

There
are plenty of companies that offer a wide range of roof windows both
for pitched and flat roofs, with a variety of different visual finishes
that mean that roof windows can easily become a functional and aesthetic
feature of your loft conversion.

Easier Easier than moving home

Moving
home is without a doubt far more complicated than having a loft
conversion done to your property. The endless list of considerations
such as solicitors fees, surveying fees, moving logistics, change in
commute and potentially changing your childrens school is enough to put
the idea in the bin, and thats all before the hardest part, actually
finding the new home that you want.

A loft conversion simply does
away with all that hassle, an architectural practise such as GBS
Architectural will look to ensure that the process of measuring your
home, designing, gaining approvals, selecting a contractor, and even
overseeing the work is as stress-free as possible. Once all is said and
done, youll be laughing at the idea you even want to leave the home you
clearly loved.

As
residential architectural designers we always want to make sure that we
are improving the local housing stock and that is another reason why we
would encourage potential clients to seek to improve their home rather
than move.
