    Now, that depends on whether you call it attic or loft.

    Attic. The alternative sounds a bit lofty.

    Just out of interest, would you call it a loft conversion, or an attic conversion?

    Well I'm not BigLil, I don't get threads started about me wondering where I am.
    I'm a nobody, insignificant, not fit to lace anybody's boots. Born on the wrong side of the tracks.

    Depends on the house. And my mood. ;)

    My mam's house was a 2 up, 2 down terrace. When we converted it, it was definitely an attic conversion. We'd always had access to the attic room and then we converted it to add an indoors WC and bathroom.

    If I was converting my current property, I'd call it a loft conversion. The unusable space under the rafters has always been the loft.

    You've not gone missing yet! If I had to do a generation game style of remembering as may bbs names as possible yours would be one of the first, I loved Wind in the Willows as a kid.!

    My mum says attic. I say loft. But then I've probably been subliminally affected by the stream of trade vans and builders down our street for the last decade or more! All of which advertise loft conversions.

    Price of loft conversion = price of attic conversion plus 20%

    It's a good deal more than that down here!

    Thankfully the roof height isn't tall enough here and there's currently a restriction on changing the roof height on a victorian terrace, and I've no intent to lose the period cornicing by dropping the bedroom ceiling heights so we'll have to do without an extra bedroom we don't need!

    I'm still just about recovering from a kitchen extension that was completed about 2 years ago. Builders are heathens!

    I still do.
    My favourite book, film and audio book. I wallow in the cosy comfy nostalgia of an olde worlde England that probably never existed.

    FYI Gaelic is not spoken in Shetland they are more connected to Norway. You need to go to the Western Isles and North Mainland Scotland to hear the Gaelic language.
