Loft / Roof Space Valuation

Many flat owners consider converting lofts/roof spaces or building over flat roofs to provide additional floor area or external terraces to expand their home and increase the value of the property.

Often, the loft space is not included within the lease so a leaseholder has to approach the freeholder to purchase the space. Sometimes, although the lease includes the loft there is an absolute ban on alterations and the freeholders consent will have to be bought.

At this point, the parties concerned need to a loft/roof space valuation to establish the premium (price) payable to the freeholder to acquire the space or to obtain the consent.

The leaseholder and the freeholder may obtain their own, separate, valuations but often it is far simpler and more cost effective to commission a single valuation on a jointly instructed basis.
