Velux loft conversions are usually the cheapest and fastest to build - they offer a classic loft conversion room without the need to change the shape of the roof.
If you're not living in a listed building or a conservation area it's likely you'll be able to build your Velux conversion as a permitted development, which means that you don't have to go through the time-consuming process of gaining planning consent.
There are a lot of benefits to building a Velux loft conversion:
However, if you have specific requirements for your loft conversion, a Velux conversion may not be right for you. The cons are:
If you are planning to build a loft conversion as a permitted development rather than applying for planning permission, it's important that you check the history of your home. If you or the previous owners have already built a permitted development (such as a kitchen extension or garage) you may not be able to build your loft conversion through this route and will need to apply for planning permission.
