Another reason why homeowners opt for attic or loft conversions is to gain new means of income. Renting out converted attics can be a good source of income. But, before planning for this venture, you need to make sure that you have sufficient space. Not to mention, you need to call in experts to assess your establishment first to ensure safety. And, you also need to call in experts to help you convert you attic. This is important to ensure that you can make attics functional and appealing.
Lastly another great idea could be to turn your attic into a gym. Again the light airy space and possible en-suite would give you the perfect place to work out and the cost of the attic conversion would be offset by costly gym memberships.
So the next step would be to sit down and look at some interior design magazines, discuss the possible use of the attic conversion - and if your budget can afford it then you should start contacting your local builders for tenders - and remember to always check their work history and portfolio.

The many advantages that one gets out of an attic conversion can be extremely tempting, but prior to starting the conversion project, one has to make sure whether the project is feasible or not. How do you do that? Here are some of the basic requirements to ensure that you can have a successful conversion:
If you have been using a pull-down stairs to climb up and down the attic, then you will have to change that and add a staircase which is permanent. While adding a staircase, one has to consider about what lies below, how much space the staircase would be taking up, whether they will interrupt the flow of the other rooms, etc.
Obviously heating will be a major consideration so it's very important to take time to decide where to position the radiators so that they do not take up valuable wall space, especially if you intend putting up shelves for books etc.
Another area that needs consideration is where to place electric cables, plumbing etc. It is important to give this a lot of thought as valuable space can be lost if this is not done effectively. This also applies to positioning of radiators as you will want to make the best use of any wall space available. If you get this right first time it will save a lot of unnecessary repositioning later, especially if you plan on putting book cases or wardrobes in your new attic conversion.

An attic also known as a loft is a room created from the space in a pitched roof. Attic conversion refers to the process through which living units are created in a pitched roof. It is not a costly project because the basic framework and the roof space for the creation of the units are already there. It is easier to create an upper floor than to add a new wing to a house.
Attic conversions not only add versatility to your home and it also increases the floor space and re-sale value as well. You can have that office, studio, bedroom or just plain extra living space you have always wanted.
As previously stated, checking for electricity in the space is important, as well as how many junction boxes there are. A single light hanging from the ceiling is not going to be adequate for a living space. If you are planning to include a powder room, see if there is plumbing coming up to the attic. If your home is heating via a furnace and cooled in the same manner, locate the nearest ducting to see if it can be extended. Depending on the size of the attic, the age and condition of the home, it may be necessary to consult a structural engineer. This is an important step. When you are adding so much extra weight to the structure, it is crucial to have an expert evaluate the integrity of the building.
Even if you are doing some of the work yourself, a permit will be necessary. Call the local building permit office and talk to an inspector about your plans. Ask for advice, recommendations, what permits will be required and how many inspections will be needed. Some regions ask for a large deposit with the permit application, but when the final inspection is passed the deposit will be returned to you.
