Question 1

Can I Convert My Garage Into A Studio?

Accepted Answer

You can easily convert your garage into a studio apartment by keeping it to one level. If you want the apartment, but don't want to lose your car's parking spot, you can create a garage loft. You can use an exterior entrance to keep the two spaces completely separate.

Question 2

When Should I Rebuild My Garage?

However, if you notice that the walls of your garage are sagging or cracked, and you have standing water or other issues within the garage, it may be time to rebuild. Garages with foundation problems are often past the point of repair, especially if the foundation isn't anything more than a flat concrete slab.

Do You Need Planning Permission To Turn A Garage Into A Room?
