Prices For Loft Conversion

Calculating prices for loft conversion projects isn’t easy as there are so many variables involved and of course no two loft conversions are exactly the same.  But, that said, there are a few generalisations and ballpark figures we can take into consideration.

Taking a very general view a standard bedroom loft conversion with an en-suite bathroom  should cost between £18000 and £25000 though geographical location, extras, furnishings and of course structural complications can easily double that figure at the very least.

One way to get guide prices for loft conversion projects is to estimate the cost per square metre.  As a general rule a loft conversion can be calculated as costing £1400 per square meter.  As an example, a loft space of 5x4m would have an estimate of £28000 (5x4=20x1400=28000).

Of course there are so many assumptions in using that formula to calculate loft conversion prices but nevertheless it does serve as a useful indicator.  

Interestingly a recent survey showed that homeowners in the UK spend more on converting the loft than they do on any other kind of home improvement.  What is surprising at first glance is that the average cost of a loft conversion project is just £7500.  But that figure is low because it includes everything from full conversions to spending a few quid on installing some loft boarding.
