Swampy Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Hi, We’re going to build an extension on a house we’re buying and have a set of plans, but we’re finding it very difficult to get a rough estimate of the cost - to make sure we can actually afford the work, before we complete on the property. we have plans, because a neighbour has done the exact work that we want to do. We will of course get our own set of plans, when/if we complete. I appreciate that build prices have increased a lot in the last couple of years, so can anyone provide a guide to cost per square meter? I’ve seen these guide values before, but what with prices going through the roof, I wondered if anyone has seen any updated figures? It’s going to be a 2 story extension to the side and half of the back of the property, plus we want to do a loft conversion (in case that’s relevant). Thanks.

Andehh Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Take a photo from your phone & upload them? Could be anywhere from £3000 - 3500 + VAT is my wild stab in the dark based on too little info. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJNewton Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 (edited) I would think your neighbours costs are going to give a much better indication than a generic per sqm cost, which hasn't really ever meant all that much given the variability relating to content and final finish, particularly for an extension.

Bob77 Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 For a 40 square metre single-storey extension in Hampshire, along with a couple of internal structural walls being taken down, I have had quotes between 72k and 120k. I went with the lower end so I'll let you know whether that was a mistake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
