What @Gewürzt said. It was probably done on the cheap for additional space but there is unlikely a quick fix to make it a 'proper' bedroom that meets regs (otherwise the current owners would have done it). There are all sorts of rules like insulation, stair specification, ceiling height, landing size at top of stairs etc that need to be met. Could be that starting from scratch would even be cheaper.
I would personally value it as slightly higher more attractive than a 2 bed, but not comparable to a genuine 3 bed. If you want a real 3 bed you will have to do a legit conversion that will cost £££

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!
