The first is to renovate it as a garage: a floor that stands up to use, an automatic door, insulation, decent lighting and perhaps a storage or workshop area. The second is to convert it into living space or another room, and there we&#8217;re no longer talking only about building work but about a planning procedure: the change of use. The difference between the two is enormous in paperwork, in timescales and in budget, so the first thing is to know which of the two is viable in your

There are four doors to get through. The first is planning: the council has to allow residential use on that floor and in that area. The second is the habitability rules, which set minimums for clear height (in many municipalities around 2.5 m), usable floor area, ventilation and direct natural light. The third is the technical design: a change of use is drawn up and certified by a qualified professional, not resolved with a form. And the fourth, if the garage is in a block, the residents&#8217; association and its rules. We&#8217;ll give you a steer from the first visit on whether your case has legs, so you don&#8217;t pay for a design for something that can&#8217;t be done. If your space is a commercial unit rather than a garage, the route is the same: that&#8217;s also a change of use.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-461d878 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"461d878\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1e45d20 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"1e45d20\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3c8e3cf elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3c8e3cf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A quote made for you<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a06cb97 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a06cb97\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How much does it cost to renovate or convert a garage?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2e82e80 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget-tablet__width-initial elementor-widget-mobile__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2e82e80\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The two routes have very different budgets.
