Hello everyone
This is my first message so please be gentle with me!
I am going to have a loft conversion as I need another bedroom. I have only had one quotation so far but the builder said that at the top of the new stairs that goes in to the new loft bedroom there has to be a small landing area and then a door in to the new loft bedroom. I am sure is he correct as it is a specialist loft conversion company.
However it is a bit of a shame as it will make the bedroom much smaller. I live in a small middle terraced house so space is already very tight especially as I would like an en-suite up there as well.
While thinking it all over I had an idea and thought I would ask the question on an Internet forum before I speak to the company in case it is not possible. Could I have the loft bedroom built as the builder says, with a landing and a door in to the bedroom, and then in the future if I find the room too small, could I have the wall and the door removed? This would make the bedroom much bigger!
This then leads to another question. When, or should I say if, I ever sell the house, will I have to put the wall and bedroom door back in so that I can market it/legally sell it as a loft bedroom?
I hope I have explained this properly!!
Any advice would be very kind.
Thanks
Sally
