Cost of Converting Loft To Bedroom : Added Value
Attic conversions are very popular in the UK. One of the main reasons for this is that your conversion will add value to your home. You can add up to 20% on top of the value of your property. But, the amount added once again depends on many factors. One of these is of course the size of your new rooms. But, you also need to take into consideration the location of your property and whether or not there is a cap on property prices in the area. A loft conversion in London will add far more value to your home than one in a rural location where you are surrounded by a lot of unused land.

Simple and Versatile
Converting your attic into living space is quite easy and relatively simply. The work can be completed in a matter of weeks if you have enough head room in your loft to start with. Once finished, your new room is also very versatile. Depending on your budget, you could create an office, a playroom, or an ensuite bedroom. Which leads us on to the question of how much the conversion will cost.
The cost of converting loft to bedroom space depends on many factors. A simple conversion will be a lot cheaper than adding a bathroom upstairs. If you are going to use your new room all year, you will also need to consider how you will heat your new living space. Prices vary depending on whether you want a standard or a deluxe conversion, and on whereabouts you live. Although the same standard of materials will be used anywhere in the country, a conversion in Scotland could cost you half of what it would in London and the South East. Figures for the South West and Bristol show that you could pay as little as 10K for a 20 metre squared conversion, this price rising to 25K for a 30 metre squared deluxe version.
