Property potential report
2-bedroom Terraced
<h3>Executive Summary</h3> <p><strong>137 Stoney Ln, Yardley, Birmingham B25 8RJ, UK</strong> - End-of-terrace house with a single-storey rear outrigger already in place, gated side access, and a low-maintenance rear garden; presented as a clean but dated ex-rental requiring cosmetic and kitchen modernisation.</p> <p><strong>Extension Potential:</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>Rear reconfiguration/upgrade</strong> (existing outrigger): £44,064 - £72,576 - structural opening between dining room and kitchen, improved glazing and insulation; a new rear extension is not appropriate as one already exists.</li> <li><strong>Loft conversion</strong> (rear dormer, approx. 4.5m × 3m): £33,756 - £55,598 - would add a third bedroom or home-working space within the 40m³ Permitted Development allowance for a terraced house.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Planning Status:</strong> No recorded planning applications, decisions or local precedents on file - a clean history with no known constraints.</p> <p><strong>Recommendation:</strong> A rear dormer loft conversion is the strongest single opportunity, converting a two-bedroom property into a three-bedroom home at the lower cost range (from £33,756) while preserving the garden entirely - pursue a Lawful Development Certificate to confirm Permitted Development compliance before committing to design fees.</p> <p class="text-sm text-gray-600"><em>Note: The loft conversion may qualify for permitted development rights, avoiding a full planning application; rear works affecting the existing outrigger will require Building Regulations approval and Party Wall notices regardless of planning route.
