As the title says, we’ve just been quoted £200k for a downstairs reconfiguration and extension which seems extortionate. We are based in St Albans which I know has a posh reputation and often means higher prices but wow, my husband and I are in shock! £200k doesn’t even include the new kitchen we need or things like cupboards in the utility.
I’d like opinions on whether this really is extortionate or if it’s the going rate. Screenshot attached of proposed new ground floor. The red dotted line shows where our current house and outbuilding are. We’d be making the living room a bit smaller, adding a toilet and utility, large kitchen extension.
The company is a well known local design and build company who have a good reputation for building well. They’ve been good to deal with so far.
