Having done loads of conversions/extensions, IMO in your position you are better off buying 'done'. If you don't have a vision of what you want the whole process will be horrible - it's tiring, stressful, long, expensive and messy.
It's really worthwhile doing if you know what you want, but the process is still hard work.
Buy a place you really like as it is.

Would agree with this.
Unless you are a fussy prick like me who wants things a very certain way.
25K would prob get you the rooms connected, just, and done badly, but no kitchen and we all know they start at £40k... -

I know what I want. Will it kill me though? Would like to pick your brains on what could go wrong.

I had a vision of what I wanted and it was still tiring, stressful, long, expensive and messy.
I would rather buy close to what we want this time so we have less to do.

I'm getting the impression that the higher end of our budget is worth the increase. I don't think the lower end ones could be brought up to the same spec as the higher ones for the difference in cost right now. And because I don't a have a set idea of what I want, it's not like I'll miss the concept of going custom. I see stuff I like and go, "ooh, that's nice, I want that" but am not able to picture how to make that happen in a place that doesn't have it.
