Inverleith's proximity to the New Town conservation area means many properties require sensitive treatment. Our extensive experience with Edinburgh's listed and conservation properties ensures consistently outstanding outcomes. Our team brings deep local knowledge of Inverleith properties, Edinburgh planning requirements, and the specialist skills needed to extend homes in this area to the very highest standard.
“Our Inverleith townhouse renovation by Luxor is exquisite. They worked sensitively with the period architecture while delivering contemporary luxury throughout. Wayne's communication was excellent and every trade was of the highest standard. Truly exceptional from start to finish.”
“Luxor built a magnificent rear kitchen extension at our Inverleith property. The conservation area requirements were navigated expertly and the result is a beautiful glass extension that floods our home with light. Luxurious quality at every turn.”
“Both bathrooms in our Inverleith home have been transformed by Luxor. The Italian porcelain tiling, rainfall showers and heated floors are beautiful. The team was professional, respectful of our home, and delivered truly outstanding results.”
Extension costs in Inverleith typically range from £1,500–£2,500 per square metre depending on specification. A standard 20m² single storey extension costs between £30,000–£50,000. We provide detailed, itemised quotations after a free site consultation.
Many extensions in Inverleith fall under permitted development rights and don't need full planning permission. However, you'll always need a building warrant from Edinburgh Council. Conservation areas or listed buildings require planning consent — we assess this and handle all applications on your behalf.
Planning and building warrant approval takes 8–12 weeks. Construction of a single storey extension typically takes 8–12 weeks, two storey extensions 12–16 weeks. We provide a detailed programme during the design stage.
Absolutely. Matching Edinburgh's distinctive stone is something we specialise in. We source matching stone, brick, roof tiles and windows to ensure your extension integrates seamlessly with your existing Inverleith property.
Yes — the vast majority of our Inverleith clients stay in their homes throughout construction. We create weatherproof barriers, maintain site access, and minimise disruption at every stage.
