๐ก DID YOU KNOW?
A garage is not classified as a habitable room under the National Building Regulations.
While a garage is approved for vehicle storage and related purposes, it cannot simply be converted into a bedroom or living space without the necessary approvals.
If you are considering a garage conversion, it may require:
โ Approved building plans
โ Compliance with applicable building requirements
โ Proper disclosure when selling the property
โ Regularisation of any unapproved alterations before transfer
An unapproved conversion can create complications during the sale and transfer of a property.
Always check the legal status of a propertyโs improvements before buying or selling.
