4 Questions to ask yourself before...          <<

1.    What are you hoping to achieve?

Explore your own motivation for the design, perhaps inspiring living space or a stepping-stone to your dream home?

2.    Have you set a budget?

The budget is the most important piece of the design jigsaw. Just how much you can afford to spend? Would you want to do some of the work yourself? 

3.    Have you got a particular layout in mind?

The internal arrangements are remarkably predictable. Would you consider open plan? or perhaps a family room or home office.

4.    Have you considered an attic conversion?

Attic space is cheap space and the most effective way to add value to a property. However, you need to decide what you want to use it for? If you want a permanent second staircase, is there room? What implications are there for adhering to fire regulations?
