Frequently Asked Questions
What are the disadvantages of barn conversion?
The disadvantages of barn conversion include potential issues with lowering floors for headroom, damp proofing, and insulation. Additionally, the stone built walls of the barn may be unstable and require cleaning, repointing, or even rebuilding. Damp proof courses may also be necessary.
Can I convert my barn without planning permission?
Yes, you can convert your barn without planning permission, but you will need to obtain a lawful development certificate to ensure compliance with regulations. Failure to do so could lead to penalties or project demolition.
Is it difficult to get a mortgage on a barn conversion?
Getting a mortgage on a barn conversion can be challenging due to the non-standard nature of the property, which is considered high risk by lenders. This can limit your options for resale as mortgages are less readily available for such properties.
How can I maintain the character of the barn while converting it?
Maintaining the barn’s original character while ensuring it meets the needs of modern living is a key concern. This can be achieved by retaining original features such as timber beams, stone walls, and large barn doors wherever possible. Using materials and building techniques that complement the barn’s heritage, while incorporating contemporary elements thoughtfully, can help balance old and new. Working with professionals experienced in barn conversions is crucial to achieving a conversion that respects the building’s history and integrates it seamlessly with modern amenities.
