The next reason why homeowners opt for attic conversions is to avoid substantial improvement costs. Home improvement projects are quite expensive. It gets even worse if you are planning to improve living space. Luckily, attic conversions are better options than building new establishments in your property. Apart from that, attic or loft conversions are easier to do than building, which can help you reduce your expenses significantly.
Musicians can also benefit greatly from an attic conversion and the rest of the family might be glad to be away from the noise too! It's also possible to soundproof the attic. This would obviously add to the cost but would definitely be worth it if the musical instrument was something like the drums or electric guitar. If it was a piano, you may have some difficulty getting it up in the attic!
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:
Check the roof of the attic for any damage caused by rainwater. If there are visible black patches, it means that the problem persists, and that should be taken care of before commencing on the conversion project. Also, check for leaks and cracks on the roof.
You will also need to install plumbing if you intend using your attic conversion as a bedroom with ensuite. Depending on the available space on the upstairs landing you can have a stairs fitted which can make your attic conversion more a part of the house. If not it is very simple to have an attic ladder fitted which folds away very neatly. This is not a costly operation but it is necessary so that you have easy access to your newly fitted conversion.
When you are finally ready to go ahead the next step is to make sure that any building regulations are being complied with. You may not require planning permission but it makes sense to sort this out before you start. Again if you are planning on employing an architect he will instruct you on what is required. You will also need the services of a good builder who has experience of this type of work.

You must also consider what you want to do with the space that's present in your attic at the very moment. You may also wish to expand your attic while converting it and this can be done properly as well. Should you find any specific task that you want to complete after that, it would also be ideal to prepare them ahead of time. In a project such as this one, timing is everything and an experienced contractor would know how to work things out on schedule.
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.
Don't forget to incorporate the position of electrical outlets. Use the elements of the attic to your benefit. If there are load bearing vertical beams positioned in odd places, consider using them for the construction of a bed, desk or shelving. Some large older homes are duplexed or split into condos. If your situation fall under one of these headings, and you share a party wall, it may be necessary to gain permission from the owners association or neighbor.
