What is the cost of a Waltham Forest loft conversion?

Loft conversion are all different, but share many similarities. Cost is affected by a number of factors; the type of conversion you want, ease of access, the shape and condition of the roof now – all these will impact on the cost

Dormer window loft conversions are typically the most economical but the purpose of the new room or rooms is also important. A bedroom will cost less to fit out than a bathroom; the simplicity (or otherwise) of adding heating and plumbing is also very relevant.

Other considerations beyond the costs of construction include   

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

The simplest Waltham Forest loft conversion will cost from about £30,000. However, it is more realistic to work on a budget of £40,000 to £65,000 with the exact figure depending on size and specifications. Complex and larger projects will cost more, but this will generally be reflected in the added value, so they will still be a good investment.
