Loft Conversions London

Although I haven’t been able to find any definitive independent statistics to verify that statement from the loft conversion quotes requests that are submitted to this site 24% come from London and if you include the immediate environs as well that figure leaps to 39%.

More and more home owners in the capital who require more living space are looking to extend their current homes rather than moving to a new larger property. And considering the cost of moving to a bigger house this really isn’t surprising.

As a typical example let’s look at Wembley, in North London.

During 2010 the average selling price of a two bed house in Wembley was £234,000. During the same period the average buying price for a three bed house was £331,500 and £455,000 for a four bed home rising to £525,000 for a five bed house.

This means, for example, that for home owners looking to increase the living space in their home from two bedrooms to four bedrooms would cost £221,000 if moving to a new home.

Added to that of course would be all the legal fees and all the other costs associated with moving to a new home. And all this is assuming that our family could sell their own home in the first place - the average time that a house is on the market in Wembley is 194 days!

Comparing the cost of moving to a larger house to that of building a new loft conversion, typically around £25-£50,000, though those figures aren’t carved in stone, there is no wonder that more home owners than ever before are looking at converting the loft rather than going through the hassle and expense of moving to a bigger property.
