If you own a property that you plan to rent out, you could consider expanding this with a loft conversion beforehand. Not only can this help to increase the property value, it can also add additional space to the property that can be used for a multitude of purposes including adding an additional bedroom, bathroom or even a home office or entertainment room. But there are a number of important loft conversion considerations for rental properties to take into account before you begin. So what are these considerations? And how can you be sure that your loft conversion will be a success? Well here at Pinnacle Loft Conversions, we are Preston’s leading loft conversion experts. As a result, we have produced this guide to everything you should know about loft conversions and rental properties.
What are the important loft conversion considerations for rental properties?
- The legal considerations-from planning permission to fire safety there are a number of legal permissions and obligations that you will need to meet. These fire safety regulations for example are essential for turning your loft conversion into a usable additional bedroom.
- The decor and design- if you want to leave the purpose of the room up to your tenants, a neutral decor will be very beneficial so that they can see the potential of the space and imagine their own possessions in the space. However if your rental property is available as fully furnished you will need to decide on the purpose of the space and decorate this accordingly. Neutral colours can still be a good option, and light colours in the loft conversion can really help to accentuate the natural light available and create a bright, clean space.
