That's fab, thanks both of you! Yes... I've made progress - found a very reasonable draughtsman that can do the drawings and he uses an engineer who charges per hour, so that will help keep additional costs down. . And spoke to the planning guy at the council who was very helpful. We're going to remove an internal structural wall and open up the door that leads into the conservatory a bit more. The council has said that there is no charge at all up to an extra £5000 but even if it's more than that, it won't cost much. So that will keep my husband happy!

Have you recently found a property you like, but feel as though something is missing? Maybe an extension or loft conversion could turn it from a house you ‘like’ into a home you love? But you’re feeling unsure when it comes to costs? We are here to provide Budget Costs to clients that are interested in a property and are looking to receive a ballpark cost for the proposed changes. It’s understandable that potential new homeowners can’t quite justify an architect’s fees when their buying decision hangs in the balance. We recently received instruction from a client in this exact position! They were seeking some guidance on costing up a concept extension, loft conversion and remodel for a house which he and his partner were interested in buying. They needed a professional opinion on the feasibility and rough cost of what it was they wanted to achieve, in order to feel confident as to whether the property was worth purchasing. Having provided us with some simple plans and site photos, we were able to confidently provide them with a budget cost, leaving them comfortable and sure they could create their dream home! 'My partner and I are wanting to buy a property which requires significant work to make it what we want it to be. The team at Nest were able to provide just what we were looking for in a detailed breakdown of anticipated costs which will go a long way in helping us determine if its worth taking the plunge on the property in the first place. Money well spent!' - Mr Chambers Contact us at hello@nestestimating.co.uk / 02380 972 016 www.nestestimating.co.uk
