Advice onloft and side return rennovation costs please Post Reply

[ladygaga]

Looking for general advice on renovation costs.

Been in current home for 8 years and did a loft and side return, now looking to potentially move and do the same again.

I’ve heard a lot about increases in costs and not really sure what the current realistic levels of various renovations might be.

This is all back of the envelope but pre-Covid a loft was between 60k and 90k depending on finish and bathrooms etc.

A side return was 80k to 150k depending on steels, kitchen fit out etc 

Basement 400k plus.

But I’ve no idea how these have changed - any general yardsticks would be great. 

I know it’s all about the detail but at the same time although you could get a loft for 50k pre Covid it almost always seemed to cost 70k plus!

Just trying to get rough ideas as we start to think about next steps…

We are having a loft and side return at the moment. We were quoted c£270k plus vat by several builders. Then you have to pay for new kitchens and bathrooms etc. for us it’s about £450k all in.

We are doing a kitchen + side return, multiple refurbishment of bathrooms and doing simple works in the loft (insulation, sky lights, building stairs up and cupboards - note that the loft space itself already exists and we’re not putting plumbing or anything in). We’ve received quotes from 600k to 1M. It’s a LOT. Good luck!

Hi, it looks like you have received great tips on what prices are like at the moment. Also remember that prices will vary depending on the finishes. For examples you can find tiles that cost 30pounds/square meter or 200pounds/square meter. There are ways that you can achieve a beautiful result without spending too much. Its more about how much time you have in your hands to shop around for good quality deals. If you are time poor and are feeling overwhelmed, my name is Alessandra.

Hi,

Just jumping in as also interested in a view of costs.

From reading various articles online the advice seems to be that the average cost for a dormer loft conversion is circa £70k.

Is the view that this is widely off the mark then?

Thanks
