The truth is that a lot of basement conversion companies in London grossly overcharge customers for their service. With New Smart Living, our luxurious basement conversions in London will worth the investment multiple times over. Usually with a conversion or refurbishment service, the price will largely depend on the area of your property, the more valuable the properties are in the area, the higher the price of your conversion will likely be. We do take location into account, however we don’t use the fact that you are in London as an excuse to charge you more than we should. Of course location is not the only factor that affects the price a basement conversion. It really depends on what type of basement you have and what you want to do with it. For example if you want to convert a basement that is more like a living room and backs out onto a patio or garden, the prices of a conversion will likely be higher than the price of a small, basement with little headroom. If you want to convert a basement into a brand new kitchen, then you should expect to pay more, than just converting it into a simple bathroom.

We are often asked whether planning permission is needed for a basement conversion in London.

If your conversion does require planning permission, do not stress out as you will be very likely to get approved from your local authority.
