We are in an area where prices are going through the roof ( no pun intended) and are thinking of a loft conversion to max on selling price when we do sell. A local (good imo) estate agent suggested it wasn't really worth it as we'd only break even. He felt the downstairs would still be small and the house 'top heavy'. It's a 4 bed, 2 bath, 3 receptions detached, but the kitchen is quite small (12 x 9) , can't be open plan with any other room and we can't extend the ground floor because we are too hemmed in.
A loft conversion could give us 2 beds and a small bathroom, or 1 large room (study or whatever) plus loo.
However, I think we'd need to use the 4th bedroom as the staircase, so we'd end up with 5 beds and a 'snug' or something on the landing where bedroom 4 was. (It's only 8x 8.)
Is it worth it?
