Hi All,
We are looking at a loft conversion early stage yet. We are getting the house valued soon and also no builder in yet, we have a friend but yet to ask her husband! But my question is can anyone give me a rough price guide for the conversion, I built a conservatory last year with some help from a builder so have some DIY skills for plasterboard, insulation, running cables, painting, floor laying etc but obviously will need builder to help with RSJ's and staircase. I will do roof windows myself too.
The house was built 2006 by wimpey and loft front to back is 7.9m and side measures 4.9m accross (difficult to be accuarte as its low at ends!), max height of w truss beam is 3m in middle. So easy to stand in the whole length no problem. No water tanks to remove and we plan no toilet/bathroom (we have 3 already!), no dormer if we dont need it, just a bedroom with maybe a partition wall to make a small office dressing area depending on space.
The plan at the moment is to get a house value ask how much a loft conversion would increase value then see the bank to borrow the amount we need. I think it maybe difficult to add all the little cost together and get an accurate amount.
We are building it to live in not just to increase value but obviously that looks attractive to the lenders.
Many Thanks for any advice
