  • 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!

  • I wouldn’t price it in as a third bedroom - you don’t know exactly what building regs might require to have it signed off. Could cost £500 could cost £5000+. They didn’t bother to foot the cost to do a proper job so why should you have to foot it in the price?
