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 Berkshire council to ensure you are compliant. There may be aspects about your location you are unaware of.
Although Newbury property market fluctuations make exact value increases difficult to predict, a converted garage generally adds around 10-20% to the sale price, depending on what the room will become.
The most value will come from adding another bedroom, which commonly adds around 20%. Whereas a home gym, office or reception room
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.
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….
