Creating space to work from home

By Nick Roberts RMR Group

In today's world, people are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of health and wellbeing. With this in mind, many individuals have adapted to new lifestyles, such as working from home. However, this change has also highlighted a common problem of not having enough suitable space to work efficiently from home.

Although many have refined their working from home routines to mitigate against interruptions, simply setting up a desk and asking everyone to be quiet is not enough. The space in which we work can significantly affect our day-to-day performance, making it essential to have a suitable working environment.

As a result, there has been a surge in the conversion of outbuildings and the building of new structures in gardens to provide a separate working space. This has led to a significant improvement in performance over the course of a year. The process of converting outbuildings is usually straightforward and building one from scratch is also a viable option.

However, it is crucial to consider planning permission. While most of these projects fall under 'permitted development,' this may not be the case if your home is listed or located in a conservation area. It is, therefore, recommended to seek professional advice to avoid mistakes.

Size is not the only factor to consider when building a garden office; location is also essential. So, if you are looking to overcome Zoombarrassment, converting an outbuilding or building a garden office could be the perfect solution.
