How can someone tell if their Garage is suitable for conversion?
✅ Signs Your Garage Is Suitable for Conversion
Solid Structure
The walls, roof, and foundation are in good condition with no major cracks, damp, or subsidence.
Adequate Space
The garage has enough internal floor space and height to create a usable room (usually 2.2m+ ceiling height is ideal).
Good Access
There’s convenient access from the main house or space to create one.
Planning Permission Likely Not Required
Most garage conversions fall under Permitted Development in the UK — unless it's a listed building or in a conservation area.
Parking Is Still Available
If you remove garage parking, you may need to show that there’s alternative off-street parking available.
Connected or Easily Connectable Services
Power, water, and drainage can be accessed or extended into the garage space.
\No Restrictive Covenants or Local Conditions
Check deeds or with the local council to ensure there are no restrictions on converting the space.
