Hi all.
Just toying with the idea of converting my mid-terrace to flats.
Any good sources of info for this?

Thanks.

Arthur

It will depend heavily on how your "mid terrace" is constructed.
Building regulations has a lot to say about fire protection, means of
escape and sound insulation that applies to buildings converted to
flats.

As far as I'm concerned houses should stay as houses and not be converted
into flats...keeps the riff raff out of decent quiet residential areas.

A decent area is where I do not live.
There is a woman across the road from me with stone clad face to go
with her stone clad house. Although these 2 things are probably more
attractive than her liver.

So that makes her the riff raff does it? private landlord sector bring in
the riff raff because they cannot get decent tenents to fill their flats so
they start letting to DHS.

This is area Im in 20 years ago was a quiet area,Private landlords moved in
with buying up the properties to make into bedsits and flats...Ill leave it
to your imagination to visage what happened to this area.

Indeed. I think councils should insist on prohibiting the rental of
property as it degrades areas when done to excess.
Whoops that'd cheese off the BTL lot though

And car parking facilities - almost always a sticking point

And he'll need a flight of stairs - possibly with a few winders!
