New immigration rules- Will this push up the cost of doing building work?

[BuzzLiteYear]

I'm in London and been planning a kitchen extension but kept putting it off until Brexit was sorted.
Now I'm beginning to think these changes will push up the cost significantly so may be better to get on with it.
I was expecting it to cost 70k ish, I'm not sure I would want or could afford to spend 80/90k!
Any advice?

Why will it put up the costs? Surely you will be hiring qualified people.

Probably

At least they be qualified bricklayers and not some idiot who pretends to be one and does a shit job

Samcro it will likely cost more because before Brexit you may have 100 people available and now you may have 20 people available. At every quality level, there will be fewer people so yes, likely the prices will rise - supply and demand. Hardly rocket science to figure this out.

Oh no! Wealthy people being inconvenienced by attempts to stop unregulated workers driving wages down shock!

VideographybyLouBloom more like 'not wealthy people' no longer being able to afford to get work done. The wealthy will book regardless.

But the wealthy sure don’t like to pay for it. I have little doubt that the OP will get her extension regardless

Trust me, I'm not wealthy!
