For a loft to qualify as a bedroom it has to meet building regs, the stuff you want doing probably won't be enough for that (can't say for sure without knowing the space). A proper loft conversion is anywhere from 40k to 100k depending on spec so a lot of people do more simple conversions which give space but can't be labelled as a room.
Whether or not they can get away with selling for the price of an actual 3 bed just depends on the location tbh

Evening, folks. Apologies in advance if this has been asked before…
Is there a forum-approved site for getting ballpark building quotes? Like a Shiply but for building work?
For context… Quick debrief with the building surveyor after his inspection of our prospective purchase. He’s basically saying the third bedroom (in the loft) isn’t actually a bedroom. The price is very much “three bedrooms” though. Don’t want anything fancy. Larger velux window/skylight in roof, door to the room and some electrics. Where would you go for a rough quote? And would you renegotiate the offer based on what comes back? We love the house but we also want that third bedroom to be a third bedroom!
