Luxury and Spacious Garage Conversions
Garage conversions are a cost-effective way to add more living space to your home, without going through the hassle of moving to a new house. If you’re interested in transforming your under-used garage into beautiful accommodation, simply get in touch with Bigger Homes today on 01268 553648 to explore your options in more detail.
Why Choose To Invest In A Garage Conversion?
A quality garage conversion can add up to 10% of the value of your property, which is a great investment whether you’re planning to sell up or continue living in your home. This underused space can effectively be integrated within your existing home to become a stylish new living space for your household to enjoy. If your garage is already attached to your home, then you won’t need to give up any garden space to increase the footprint of your property.
You’ll also find that garage conversions are less intrusive than other types of building work. More than 90% of the project will take place within your garage, meaning that you don’t experience the noise or dust that is often associated with construction. The opening between your house and the garage will typically be the last part of the project to be worked on.

Types of Garage Conversions
Garages come in all shapes and sizes, so you might be wondering about the suitability of your space for a conversion project. Bigger Homes can explore a variety of options for you depending on whether your garage is:
- Attached
- Integral
- Detached
Attached and integral garages already share a wall with the main body of your homes. The scope of the conversion project usually involves adding insulation, flooring and access from within the home to your new living space, along with plumbing and electrical installation as required.
Converting a detached garage may be slightly more complex and some will require planning permission if you intend to change their use.
Wondering how much space you can gain from converting your garage? A standard single garage could add as much as 14 square metres, whilst a double might provide as much as 28 square metres which you can split into part storage/part living space if preferred.
Planning Permission
Many garage conversions will fall within the scope of permitted development. However, full planning permission is required:
- If the property has previously been extended
- If a covenant exists states that the building must be retained as a garage
- If there is insufficient parking available at the property
