How much do Dormer loft conversions cost on average?

What’s the Average Price of a Dormer Loft Conversion?

This type of loft conversion can vary in price depending on several factors, including the size of your loft and the type of room that you want to use it as. A typical dormer loft conversion with a bedroom and en-suite bathroom will generally cost around £35,000-£45,000 on average.

Because of this, it’s always a good idea to consider the value of your home and work out the approximate value that could be added to your home by having the loft conversion to determine if it’s going to be a worthwhile investment. Bear in mind that there may be additional costs to consider, for example, if the structure of your roof needs additional support and how easy it will be to create a staircase from your first floor into the loft.

How Can a Dormer Loft Conversion Improve Your Home?

Adding space to your home is one of the most obvious benefits of having a dormer loft conversion. It allows you to utilize the space that you already have in the loft, making it a suitable choice for extending a home where you are unable to extend outwards or build onto the property.

In addition, since most dormer loft conversions are included in permitted development, there’s less hassle with getting planning permission compared to other extension types. A loft conversion can be ideal if you are feeling cramped at home and need a home office space to work in, or it can be used as an additional bedroom to support your growing family.

In addition, homes with loft conversions are often highly sought after on the market, and having a dormer conversion could improve your home’s chances of selling quickly in the future.

How Much Value Could a Dormer Loft Conversion Add to Your Home?

If you’re not planning on living in your current home forever and want to add to its value so that you can get the highest return on investment when selling it in the future, a dormer loft conversion could be an ideal way to improve the value of the property. According to a study carried out by Nationwide, a dormer loft conversion that includes a double bedroom and an en-suite bathroom can add around 20% additional value to an existing three-bedroom home.

The value potential is even higher in London, with further studies finding that adding a dormer loft conversion to a two-bedroom property in the capital raised the value by just under 25%. Depending on the current value of your home, investing in a loft conversion could generate high returns in the future, along with creating further interest in your property and improving the chance of it selling quickly.
