Velux Loft conversion
I am considering a loft conversion by going into the loft by putting the velux windows. This would mean the staircase will be installed by taking space from a small room. Can you share a typical cost of such a lft conversion in London? How long would it take? I am assuming for a semi-detached house, you don't need planning permission but only satisfy the building control and presumeably a party wall.
