What are the benefits of converting a basement or cellar?

Functional living space

The space beneath your property is likely underutilised. Converting a basement or cellar into a functional space makes an immediate difference to your lifestyle. It’s also the ideal way to future-proof your home, allowing you to prepare for a growing or multi-generation family under the same roof.

Increased property value

Making the most of all the available space within your property has long-term as well as immediate benefits. Should you decide to sell, having a converted basement or cellar space is a major boost for the kerb appeal of your property. It’s generally agreed that standing out from the crowd in this regard can increase the value of your property by 10-20%.

Additional storage

Everyone appreciates the importance of storage space, especially when most of us find that this precious resource is in short supply. A professionally converted basement or cellar will have suitable control measures in place against damp, condensation, or mould growth, providing a secure spot to store any excess belongings.

What can you do with your new space?

Bedroom

An additional bedroom comes in handy as a guest room, annexe, or even a private master suite.

Office

Having a dedicated space to work can help with concentration and maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

Home gym

Having all the facilities and equipment at home that you need to stay active helps with maintaining your routine.

Cinema or media room

Film buffs can take advantage of such a naturally private and dark space with a purpose-built media room.

Games room

Being tucked away below the property creates a cosy, immersive space for bar, tabletop, or console gaming.

Bar or wine cellar

This space offers the ideal opportunity to host friends and family or to safely store wine in a cool, dark setting.

Do basement and cellar conversions require planning permission?

Typically there is no need to obtain planning permission when converting an existing basement or cellar into a functional living space. Instead, this work tends to fall within your permitted development rights. However, it’s important to bear in mind that this may not be the case if your property is listed or within a conservation area. An experienced contractor like Target Damp can advise you and help you to obtain any necessary permissions.
