In most cases, garage conversions won’t need planning permission, as they fall under what is known as ‘permitted development’. However there are exceptions to this allowance – you will need to seek planning if:
- The garage will form a separate home
- The garage/house is a listed building
- Your property is a flat or maisonette
- It connects to a listed building
- It is within a conservation area
- Your site has had permitted development rights removed
- You are changing use from residential to commercial
- The conversion changes your property’s footprint
We always recommend you check with your local Hampshire council to ensure you are compliant. There may be aspects about your location you are unaware of.
The price for a new garage room conversion depends on a number of factors:
- The size of your garage
- the age of the property
- The type of room it will become
- How easy the property is to access
- Local council restrictions
- Whether the garage is detached
- Plumbing & drainage requirements
- Many other factors….
Prices for garage conversions can vary a great deal when the above information is taken into account.

Converting a garage is a multi-step process, the extent of which depends on the current condition of the structure and the changes required.
Common work carried out includes:
- Ensuring the garage is watertight
- Damp-proofing and sealing the floor
- Insulating the walls and roof
- Infilling the old garage door
- New windows, doors and access
- Installation of electrics and heating
We will discuss all the necessary steps with you before commencing the project.
Generally a new garage-to-room conversion will not affect your council tax, since it is not increasing the footprint or location of your property.
