Property Extensions
Adding space to your home can improve functionality and increase value. AA Drafting Solutions provides architectural design services for property extensions, ensuring each design integrates seamlessly with the existing structure while meeting technical and regulatory requirements.
Our property extension architectural services include:
- Single Storey Extensions: Add valuable space at the rear or side of your property. Ideal for transforming small kitchens into open-plan social areas or adding home offices and guest rooms.
- Double Storey Extensions: For properties with the capacity for more space on both ground and first floors, these extensions maximise usable area within permitted development limits, enhancing liveability and property value.
- Loft Extensions: Dormer loft conversions make the most of unused attic space, often used to create master suites or additional bedrooms. They provide significant new floor area and increase property value.
- Outbuildings: Large outdoor spaces can be transformed with outbuildings, such as home offices, gyms or guest accommodations. These versatile additions are designed to meet council planning and building regulations and fit seamlessly with your property.
- Basement Conversions: Often neglected, basements can be converted into functional rooms. Due to structural and safety standards, these projects generally require full planning permission, which we guide you through step by step.
AA Drafting Solutions supports each phase of your extension project, from initial technical design to planning approval application submission, ensuring a streamlined approval process.
Property Flat Conversions
Converting a single dwelling into multiple flats can be a rewarding investment, and AA Drafting Solutions specialises in making this process efficient and compliant. We work closely with local councils and follow the London Plan guidelines, ensuring all designs meet minimum space requirements and other regulatory standards. Our team manages the entire process, from technical drawings to council applications, helping both property developers and individuals turn properties into profitable multi-unit residences.
We have extensive experience in flat conversions across London, having transformed properties into multi-unit buildings through:
- double-storey side extensions
- rear extensions
- dormer lofts
- additions to commercial buildings
Our in-depth knowledge of London boroughs and council requirements makes the process smooth and hassle-free, maximising the value of your property.
