Make a two bed into a Three bed ?

[jz1]

Hi
I have bought a large 2 bed investment apartment (circa 950 sq ft) and was wondering if I could add another bedroom which would hopefully increase its letting and or property value ?
I am no expert , but I dont think it would be a major problem.



Any advice greatfully recieved
Thanks

If it's an appartment, then it's probably a leasehold and there are usually restrictions on moving internal walls or changing it's use (e.g. to a business premisis).

Hi Tiger,


Yes it a leashold (999 yr Lease)
but as the internal walls are not foundation walls it will be easy enough to do.?

It's also easy to put a satellite dish on balcony (with your washing), or to put down wooden floors, but these things aren't necessarily allowed either.

There actually was a court action by a management company against an apartment owner who did convert his 2 bed to a 3 bed apartment without consent and he was forced to dismantle it.
