Victorian side return London

[Pappybear]

Anyone know rough costs of doing this? So extending the kitchen of a pretty standard 3 bed Victorian terrace, into the side return and putting in a downstairs loo?

We're in hackney and I think the 3 bed terraces are all pretty standard in size.

This sort of thing

But minus the finishes etc, so basic construction costs?

Thank you!

That's exactly what we had done last year, also on a standard 3-bed terrace. Of course you can spend as much as you like on fixtures and fittings, but the quotes for the building work itself were in the £45 - £60K range. Plus VAT. A lot will depend on what spec you're after.

Oh that's brilliant @NamedyChangedy
We had a quote last year for £150,000 and I couldn't believe it!
DId you have a loo put in?

We did this it’s so expensive but is worth it. Total cost was between £150/160k that included the kitchen which was by no means top of the range. Included a new loo which was not simple as we needed the gas meter moved. £60k might be the build only cost but there are so many other costs - architects, planning, party wall, the mess to your garden, windows, doors, kitchen, flooring, decorating, electrics (our box thing needed upgrading)

Do you really feel like it is @Waterdropsdown ? We're decided whether to stay and do that or move somewhere a bit bigger. Obviously it costs so much to do we want to make sure it'd be worth it!

Yeah I think it is. Well the difference is we had a manky 30 year old kitchen which would have needed fully renovating anyway. We wanted a downstairs loo and all windows and doors needed doing as well. All that would have cost a fortune so for us we wanted the space.

We had a downstairs bathroom fitted and moved the boiler. We didn't end up putting in underfloor heating as that would have been a bit more. Total cost was £112K. We're really happy with the result though, it's made a huge change to the way we use the house and I can see us staying here for much longer as a result.

We had ours done 2 years ago and paid £80k all in including a toilet under the stairs. This included all fixtures and fittings, kitchen units, tiles, painting, decorators, Schuco bifold etc. We used this company who cover all of London I believe www.ineedmorespace.co.uk/.

Mine also included underfloor heating installation.

You'll be luck getting a side return in under £100k in Hackney. I would expect it to come in at £150 by the time everything is paid for.

That's what I'm thinking @serbska
Have you done something similar?

My brother had their side return done last year and it came in just shy of £150k and they didn't go for a posh kitchen or anything or really expensive windows.

There were some complications with the drains I think and they had to move at least one utility meter. They didn't have a new boiler but it had to be moved.

It has transformed their home but it is a lot of money!
