What is the cost of a house extension in Bexley?

Costs for a house extension in Bexley will vary. The extension you plan to build, its size and the materials you use – all these influence the eventual cost. We can help by suggesting the most suitable options. Ground floor extensions and rear extensions are some of the most popular, but you could also choose a side return extension, a two-storey extension, a side extension, or an L-shaped extension (sometimes called a wrap-around extension). 

Don’t be put off by the potential size or the cost. In comparison to the value of your home (and the value you can add with an extension), the investment is very worthwhile. Plus, home extensions don’t need to be large – a modest-sized extension can revolutionize your home.

While each project is different, you can expect costs to come out between £3500-£5000 per square metre. For an extension measuring 2.5m x 4m (approximately 8ft x 13ft), this gives a cost from about £35,000 to £40,000. 

House extension do have similarities.  Costs cover more than the price of construction, so you should also include fees for   

• architectural designs and specifications
• possibly, advice from a structural engineer and/or a party wall surveyor
• an application for Planning Permission or for a Certificate of Lawful Development
• Building Regulations / Building Control approval.
