Why convert?

Why not? When was the last time you really used the attic?
We all love the idea of the loft. You only have to mention the word, and everyone has the same image – dusty toys, old books and cobwebs. Not to mention that ancient yellow insulation! It is a great place for the kids to play, and the perfect location to hide the old junk.
But let us be realistic. Once the children grow up, what is the point in having an attic? Do you really want to store all those things up there? We all love a bit of extra space, and a loft conversion is the perfect answer.
Turning the loft into an office, a spare room or a guest bedroom is much cheaper than building an extension. It makes full use of wasted space, and it enhances the value of your property.
A loft conversion is a very economic decision. According to mortgage lender Abbey, at least 50% of homeowners find the cost of moving beyond them and decide to stay put. Converting existing space offers an affordable way to gain that extra space.
