Level-up Your Property With Our Bespoke Loft Conversions in East Grinstead | Perfect Lofts

Chances are if you’ve found this blog you’re living in the East Grinstead area and are currently wondering: “is a loft conversion worth the expense and hassle?” It can be a hard question to answer if you haven’t lived in a property featuring a loft conversion before, so here the loft specialists at Perfect Lofts look to weigh in, running over the various benefits that this popular home improvement project can provide. You might think that loft conversion companies are biased here, but we think you’ll find our list fairly objective.

But before we get to why so many East Grinstead residents opt for loft conversions, a word on the “drawbacks”… Firstly, the expense. While loft conversions are typically cheaper than house extensions and can be one of the more affordable property improvements you can invest in, they’re still a hefty chunk of cash in materials, labour etc. So if money is currently tight, it may be worth holding off rather than cutting margins incredibly fine. There’s also the fact that certain styles employed by loft conversion companies can require alterations to the roof. So if you’re not currently wishing to have workers around – perhaps due to the related noise – it might be worth waiting till a more convenient time. Now to the benefits… For more blog posts, click here.

What are the Benefits of Loft Conversions?

1. Value – A study carried out by Nationwide Building Society found that the average loft conversion added 22% to the value of properties in East Grinstead and the wider UK. This is only an average, and there are a number of factors that can influence your return on investment: location, end use and the quality of extension delivered (the reason it pays to choose proven loft conversion specialists for a project, like our own).

2. Avoid Moving – Moving property can be an exciting time; it can also be a highly stressful one. There’s so much involved in the process, and oftentimes you just want more space: you’re perfectly happy with your home in every other department, and like your local community. Bringing in loft conversion companies is a great way to stay put wherever you are in East Grinstead, while getting that extra room you’ve been dreaming of.

3. Adapt to Changes – New addition to the family? Or perhaps a member of the family moving in? An extra bedroom might prove essential; sleeping on the couch is rarely a viable long-term option! We’ve also had East Grinstead residents contact our loft conversion specialists to help them adapt to changes in their personal or professional lives. E.G those making the transition to working at home may wish for a home office/study where they can work in peace and quiet, while hobbyists or those on a personal fitness kick might wish for tailor made loft conversions that help them pursue their passion.

4. Keep Outdoor Space – Many properties around East Grinstead have limited outdoor space – and often it’s incredibly useful on a day-to-day level. You might have a pet, children, or simply enjoy sitting out when the weather is nice. As most extensions involve building into this outdoor space, investing in loft conversions can keep that space freed up.
