Hi,
I own a semi-detached house in dublin, which has a side garage of approx 300sq foot (full lenght of house). I am considering converting the garage into a 2 storey 2 bedroom house, and am looking for some advice before I decide to spend any money researching. I've drawn some rough sketches myself, and hope to get to an architect around over the summer.
Some questions I have:
would the garage foundations be sufficient for a house?
what additional costs will i have to pay to register as a new home (i plan to sell it on)?
what sort of price would I expect to pay for development?
are solar panels worthwhile?
how expensive / much value is an architect / project manager?
i'd need to make some changes to the side of my house, as the bathroom window is overlooking the garage and this will now form part of the dividing wall between houses. what options are there for blocking the window up in a bathroom?
very early stages now so forgive the broad ranging questi9ons, and advice appreciated.
thanks
