We have a detached house on the corner of a road. From memory our pitch is about 2m high from the floor - impossible for a loft conversion.
We've spoken to an architect who says we'll need to pursue planning permission to raise the pitch. As our house is also at the bottom of a slope (our neighbours house sits higher than ours), the council may look upon this favourably as the pitch will be matched with theirs (will still need to crunch the numbers to see how much extra we'd get). They may frown at the dormer style at the back of the house seeing as we're on the corner though.
Before contacting roofing companies and getting quotation, what sort of costs would I be expecting for the pitch to be raised and a shell ready for a conversion?
