and loft conversion cost
throughout the UK

With the property market in the doldrums and more and more homeowners looking to extend their property with a loft conversion, it’s never been a better time for the loft conversion companies but are they providing value for money or ripping us off with their prices?
I wish I had a penny for ever time I was asked about loft conversion costs. It’s not rocket science to make the determination that loft conversion costs will be higher in London than they would be some where in the middle of the country side. Everything costs more in the heart of large cities as all the costs are different.
For starters tradesmen get paid higher rates in cities especially London. Materials cost more in the cities as does delivery. In fact almost every cost that form part of a loft conversion will be higher in the city so why are homeowners surprised that there are huge differences in loft conversion costs.
What about loft conversion design? The reality is that there are no two loft conversions that are exactly alike. You might have two loft conversions next door to each other but yet one is £10,000 more than the other. To find out why you need to look at design factors such as:
As you can see there are many areas where the costs can escalate and it’s not altogether surprising that a loft conversion can vary by £10/£15k depending on the loft conversion design.
Another huge factor with regard to loft conversion costs is the actual size of the loft conversion. For starters a loft conversion to a standard period terrace is probably the easiest conversion you can do. But what if it was an end of terrace property or a semi detached property? Go one step bigger and suppose you were considering a loft conversion to a detached house with a Georgian hipped roof, what would the costs be then?
It’s abundantly clear the best loft conversions come from the specialist loft conversion companies. Their in-house design team will have the most up-to-date designs, materials and access to the best suppliers at cheaper rates than say the local builder. On average you are likely to pay about 10% more for a loft conversion by a builder than a loft conversion specialist.
Whilst the loft conversion market is getting a much needed boost it is highly competitive and homeowners are getting better value now than at any time in the past. The key to getting the costs down is to seek at least three comparative loft conversion costs.
