Loft conversion

This feels a little indulgent as we have a reasonably large house but I really dislike the master bedroom - too small and cramped.

I have booked an appt to get a quote but just want to make sure I am not biting off more than I can chew.

If people don't mind sharing, what has a dormer loft conversion cost in the last few years?

Appreciate it can vary but just looking for a ball park!

Thanks!

South London 6 years ago - 40k - which was the going rate at the time as what we wanted was v standard for houses near us

We had our loft done for 16k, north east England. Included plastering and painting plus 2 large skylights. Very big Edwardian end terrace with high ceilings so didn't need dormer.
Can't believe what people pay, you could buy a house up here for 65-80k.
