We really want to renovate our garage but in our area the council charge to even enquire about changing a space let alone the cost of producing plans, getting building regs in to check the space, paying to get to the planning permission looked at. At every stage there’s a charge and it’s going to cost thousands and they can still say no. We aren’t even connecting water or changing any of the external building but just change of use for the space is very expensive. It feels like a pipe dream to be honest. Thank you for this fab video it’s helping to keep my dream alive! You’ve done a wonderful job! I’d be very interested in knowing from an estate agents perspective how much value that space has added, it seems like a very worthwhile addition! Great job!

@AgnesMann 2 жыл бұрын

We’ve actually have had our house revalued and it’s added about £40-50k to the house so not massive increase but it’s more interesting and appealing to wider audiences as well if we were to sell now. Thank you and I hope you’ll manage to get yours dreams come true soon.

Nice work. Just figured out it's rectangular so the front door is on the side and the old garage door entrance is the bedroom living space, so it'd be smaller become you actually added space from your existing restroom. It's like a little motel room. I think a 2 car garage would've been perfect or better but it's ok for most. It's a great idea though and really nice work very pretty, you chose everything brilliantly. ❤️
