Loft Conversion Average Price:
The average price of a loft conversion will depend mostly on the type of loft conversion that you want, and what you are going to do with the room. For example, a basic roof light conversion where the loft is converted to a room and windows are added without making any changes to the shape or structure of the roof is likely to cost a lot less compared to a more expensive Mansard loft conversion, where significant work will need to be carried out on the roof. Additionally, turning your loft conversion into a storage room or home office will usually set you back much less compared to having a full bathroom plumbed in.
Dormer loft conversions, where additional space is added by building on the sloping side of the roof, are the most popular loft conversion type in the UK. On average, a typical dormer loft conversion to include a bedroom and en-suite will set you back around £35-45k. However, you could pay much less or much more depending on your specific requirements.
How Much Value could a Loft Conversion Add to Your Home?
Getting a loft conversion can add significant value to your home, especially when the work involves adding an extra bedroom or bathroom to the property. In addition, using a loft conversion as a home office space can increase the demand for your property and raise the value since this is one factor that has become more and more important for buyers in the past eighteen months.
A study conducted by Nationwide found that adding a dormer loft conversion to a three-bedroom, one-bathroom property to turn it into a four-bedroom, two-bathroom property increased the value by twenty percent. This is even higher if you live in London, with statistics showing that converting the loft of a two-bedroom property can boost the value by 25% or more.
