Loft Conversions Notting Hill: Best Types for Local Properties

Notting Hill's large Victorian terraced houses are exceptionally well suited to dormer loft conversions and L-shaped dormer loft conversions, which create large double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms in the roof space. The stucco-fronted Victorian houses that characterise the Pembridge, Ladbroke and Stanley conservation areas have high roof ridges and steep pitches that provide excellent natural headroom. Mansard loft conversions are also popular in Notting Hill for properties where maximum space and value uplift is the priority.

Can it be done under permitted development?

Most London loft conversions on houses need no planning application. A rear dormer, a hip-to-gable or an L-shaped dormer is permitted development within 40 m³ on a terrace and 50 m³ on a semi or detached house, provided the property is a house (not a flat) and not in a conservation area or on an Article 4 street, and we apply for a Lawful Development Certificate on every one so the position is confirmed in writing before work starts. Our fixed-price permitted development lofts start from £32,400 inc. VAT (£27,000 + VAT) for a Velux loft and £56,400 inc. VAT (£47,000 + VAT) for a rear dormer, at economy specification, design and build inclusive. See our permitted development projects page for every product with its from-price and the checks we run before we confirm a project qualifies.
