How much does a loft conversion cost?

The cost of a loft conversion can be fairly low in comparison with other forms of home extension. A basic loft conversion can cost as little as £10,000 but a more realistic figure is around £15,000.

However, these costs can rise dramatically according to the size and design of a loft conversion project. For example, if you want a bedroom with en suite bathroom as well as a dormer window, you probably won't get much change from £30,000.

The cost of a loft conversion can also depend on the builder or conversion company you decide to use. When spending this amount of money, it's vital to choose a builder wisely. Get at least three quotes and don't rush into anything.

Remember, if a quote sounds too good to be true it probably is. But at the same time, don't assume that an expensive builder will necessarily provide the best finished product.
