We have bought a house (semi-detached house) and the current living space (60 sqm) is just small for us. The house was built sometime in 1930 and the garage sometime in 1965. The house is built on 2 floors, downstairs kitchen, living area and upstairs bedroom and another room. However, the ceiling height on the upper floor is not very high. There is also an attic, which has not been converted at all. We want to convert the garage and the courtyard into living space. I have attached a sketch here. We might also add a storey to the garage and install a staircase in the current courtyard.
If that works out, we would combine the current kitchen with the living area so that the kitchen becomes bigger.
Could you please explain to me what we will face (e.g. building permit, do we have to hire an architect, etc. etc.)? I would also like to know financially how much it would cost us.
