Having bought a new house 18 months ago, I was sure that two double bedrooms and a single would be all the space I needed, but when you work from home every inch counts! Just when I thought my only option was to move, I had an epiphany – I could convert my loft. It looked like a vast, empty space up there as I balanced precariously on top of a ladder, and I had no idea how to go about it, what it would cost or whether, legally speaking, I would be able to do it anyway. But fellow loft-converters, don’t worry yourselves. Here I have compiled a guide to sussing out if it’s the right choice for you, and all the steps you’ll need to take. Oh, and you could boost your home’s value by up to 15% too.
