If you are considering converting your own garage, before getting too excited, it is important that you check it is big enough to make the whole project worthwhile – garages that came with older houses were often pretty compact and, in some cases, this could lead to difficulties.
For anyone who wants to add space to their home in a cost-effective way that doesn't involve the disruption of building a full-blown extension, a garage conversion is ideal. Not only does this type of project make fantastic use of what is often wasted space, it also adds value and usually won't require planning permission either.
