Very good and well explained. If I may say something, the planning application is the first thing to do. Without planning approval there is no loft! So in a order should be 1- drawings 2- planning application 3- structural drawings 4- party wall awards.

Great explanation. Our builder started the conversion this week, and yes party wall is a minefield..👍

Great video and thank you for doing this, guess 1 thing that comes to mind which wasnt mentioned was insurance of the works and property? Expect Builder should have cover however this needs to be checked and potentially id think arranging insurance yourself would be more beneficial and in your control giving you further peace of mind etc.

Hi Joe.

Please elaborate on your comment in regards to new builds? You state it is not possible, however, surely reinforcement with Steal beams will allow the removal of the trusses?

[grahamnewman]

Hi ! I am considering using Eco-truss method of replacing trusses to convert loss do you have an opinion on doing that please ????

A really interesting and informative video, thanks for posting. Out of curiosity, if you were to employ a professional loft conversion company, would they manage everything for you; plans, structural drawings, party wall agreements, etc. If so, I'm guessing that would be more expensive than carrying out a lot of the legwork yourself?
