The cost of any conversion you undertake\nwill be entirely dependent on the work you have done and the size and type of\nproperty you own. When it comes to loft conversions, the pitch and shape of\nyour existing roof will also be a factor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, according to Checkatrade, the average cost of a loft conversion in the UK today is between \u00a327,5000 to \u00a375,000+ based on a mid-sized 30m\u00b2 loft conversion. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This ranges from a Velux or dormer\nconversion (where a box style structure is created on a pitched roof to expand\nhead and floor space) to the more pricey hip-to-gable conversion, which extends\nyour property by inserting a vertical wall (a \u2018gable\u2019) in place of a sloping\nside roof (the \u2018hip\u2019) or a mansard conversion which alters the shape of the\nroof. Adding a toilet and\/or bathroom will also increase the cost since\nadditional plumbing will be required. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are unsure whether a loft conversion\nwould be suitable for your property, or the best type to choose, you should\nseek advice from a qualified architect, surveyor or builder. A quick rule of\nthumb when considering the feasibility of a loft conversion is to measure the\nheadspace in your existing loft, which usually needs to be 8ft or more in the\nmiddle of your loft under the ridge and ceiling joists. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will always needs building regulations\napproval<\/a> if you intend to create a \u2018liveable\nspace<\/a>\u2019 in your loft and you cannot market your property as having this\nadditional space (and gain that purported 20%\nincrease<\/a> in value) if you do not have this approval. Whilst some loft\nconversions fall under permitted\ndevelopment rights<\/a>, you may also need planning permission and\/or a party\nwall agreement<\/a> if you share a wall with a neighbour, so always double\ncheck! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
