So that you can get a reasonable idea of the budget you would need to make allowance for, the following are approximate prices based on the average loft conversion projects carried out on properties in good condition in recent years. Please note that every single project is quoted individually, and prices vary according to size, condition of the property, cost of selected materials and so forth.
Example 1: Terraced property
Typically, this type of propery has two gable (vertical) sides and pitched (sloped) front and back roofs.
