§ 02 The garages

What the newest estates were built with

Two types are named in our note for this area. Like most of the city, these streets were laid out around the car, and the garages show it. Either type can be planned in more than one way, which is where the survey comes in.

Houses here were built recently, many with the garage inside the house or with two bays side by side.

A double garage gives the most room: an annexe, a bedroom with a utility beside it, or half made into a room and half kept as a store. See the double garage page for the layouts.

§ 03 Cost

Two bands, both for scale

Integral £10,000 – £14,000

Double £15,000 – £25,000

These are the published UK guide bands for the two garage types noted here, set on one scale so you can compare them. They are national figures, not a price for a house in Broughton; yours is set after the free survey, line by line. See the cost page for the third band and what changes a figure.

§ 04 Planning

Three questions for the planning record

Newer houses still have a planning history, and it can matter as much as on older streets. We answer these three for your address.

Looked up first
Is there a parking condition?
Plenty of grid squares were approved on terms that keep the garage for parking, or that took away permitted development rights. If your record shows either, a planning application comes first, and the council considers how many cars the drive can still take.
Confirmed for you
If the record is clear
A built-in garage turned into a room usually needs no more than permitted development, confirmed for your home at the survey; a double garage turned into an annexe is planned with the council's view of parking and use in mind.
From start to finish
Building Control
We make the Building Regulations application and book the inspections. The completion certificate arrives after the final visit; keep it with the deeds.

§ 06 Questions

Broughton questions

Not answered here? Call 07535 808829.

Can our double garage become an annexe?

It can, with a bedroom, a shower room and a small kitchenette for a parent or grown-up child. It is planned with the council's view of parking and use in mind, so we go through that with you first.

Could we convert just one bay?

Yes. Half the double garage becomes a room and the other half stays a store behind a new wall and door.

Is Milton Keynes Village part of this area?

Yes. Our list puts Milton Keynes Village and Pineham with Broughton, Brooklands and Middleton. Phone 07535 808829 if you are unsure about your road.

What does a double garage conversion cost?

Your figure comes from the free survey. For scale only, the published UK guide band for a double garage is £15,000 to £25,000; it is a national figure, not a Broughton price.

What happens at the free survey?

We measure the garage, look at how heating, power and drainage would reach it from the house, read the planning history and agree what the room is for. Drawings and the quote follow.
