With constant reports of low housing supply, rising rents and mounting demand it is becoming harder than ever for renters to find their perfect home.
In order to try and alleviate the issues regarding low housing supply there are countless new developments popping up across the country. Whilst the majority of these new developments are just that – new, there is also a large number of conversion developments coming to the rental market. New permitted development rules mean that numbers of conversions are on the up as the new law makes it easier for property developers to convert buildings such as old offices into residential developments, with a much easier planning process.
Conversions are a popular choice for many renters as they produce unique new homes from old buildings including school houses, offices and churches. With many disused buildings being utilised for their often prime locations, historical background and quirky original features there are countless reasons why you might choose to live in a converted apartment packed with individual charm, which has resulted in a burgeoning appetite for renovated developments.
