Loft Conversions For Victorian Properties
Victorian Property Loft Conversions
A Victorian loft conversion can add significant space to traditional properties. This is often a cost-effective way to increase the living space because it will also typically add value to this type of property.
Victorian houses were inspired by a wide range of styles during the reign of Queen Victoria. Many properties built during this time were joined in long terraces. This was an efficient design to accommodate increasing suburban populations as people migrated to the cities. That being said there were also semi-detached and detached houses built too. The loft space in the majority of Victorian properties lofts were never utilised as living space.

Converting The Loft In A Victorian Property
Victorian properties have beautifully proportioned rooms. However, many have been extended to cater to modern living. There are two ways to create more space. The first option involves extending outwards, but this takes up valuable outside space. Victorian loft conversions are a great option because they can be built within the existing roof space. There are also many opportunities to create a lot of usable space up there too.
Depending on the amount of available headroom and useable floorspace a dormer or mansard loft conversion will have the most potential to add space. However a straightforward Velux loft conversion may be possible.

Planning A Victorian Property Loft Conversion
Working with an experienced loft conversion company will ensure you get a considered plan. Victorian loft conversions are relatively straightforward, but there are some constraints and considerations that can influence design. In many cases there will be the requirement for some additional structural work to ensure compliance with building regulations. There may also be additional planning permissions to be obtained too, depending on the geographical location of the property.
If you are considering adding a loft bedroom then a good designer may be able to find ways to incorporate an en-suite bathroom, which could add more value to the finished property. Discussing your ideas with a professional can give you inspiration and find ways to get more from your budget.

How Much Will A Loft Conversion Cost In A Victorian Property?
Generally speaking a loft conversion will start at around £30k. Projects can vary considerably in cost depending on the size of the property, type of loft conversion and the materials used to achieve your desired finish.
The average victorian terrace has a simple roof construction that lends itself well to converting into usable space. We always prefer to visit a property before providing a quote because it allows us to inspect the structure and layout of the property. There are many things that can be planned into a design, such as hidden storage or additional rooms.
