It was a new house and garages these days are hardly wide enough to keep a decent sized car in so converted it to a study/extension of kitchen.
Planning permission and building regs were needed aswell as permission from original house builder (being in covenant). Cost was approx £1500 as I pulled down internal wall - non load bearing, and the cost was only for a new window and bricking up where door was plus internal plastering. Mate did electrics. Did need a brick match as part of planning though.
Now that's more like the price that I'm looking for
I'm looking at calling in good mates and use myself to do the donkey work.They say that football is a religion, if this is true I worship at the Exacta Stadium, Chester0 -
we had a long tandem garage with loo/workshop on back. Have just completed works to leave single garage at front, with back converted into kitchen, utility and loo. Had to send drawing to local council, but only had to get change of use consent. They checked work at all stages and signed off job on completion. Now have a great kitchen. Dont know if this is any help....0

Did you get any firhter on this? We are looking into this and i cant belive that it would decrease the value /selling potential of the house!. I mean as someone has pointed out, you cant fit a car in there, so its much better as another bedroom/living room/study than just a cold area to store junk and a freezer isnt it?Waddle you do eh?0
