We are in the process of buying a three bed 1950's semi. We have plans to do a large ground floor extension before we move in. We were hoping that in a few years down the line we would remortgage and do a loft conversion with dormer to create a master suite.
I am wondering if I should be thinking about making the preliminary work part of our initial project. Is this possible and how much would just a dormer loft 'shell' cost in comparison to a full loft conversion?
We could then take out a home improvement loan in a few years to 'finish' it off once the kids are both in school?
So essentially we would have the bones of the loft there and the pipework etc but it wouldn't be a functioning room. Is this a long term money saving thing or is it a waste?
Thanks in advance.
