Yeah - that all makes really good sense. Because we’re not extending and so adding sqft I think that makes the value part more pressured. That said there is clearly a premium for nicely finished houses as shown by TMH. We will have a convo with EC in the new year and get a handle on what we can/can’t do.

The value aspect is something that continues to pop up in our reno. First, it was the decision not to do the side return and now it's whether or not to do a loft conversion. It's been an enlightening experience really questioning what we do and don't need. I know our lifestyle and budgets are very different but I would sit down with your wife and look at whether your original design is necessary. You may find that with some small edits you can still create something magnificent or it may simply confirm your original plan. £300k is a lot of value that needs to be clawed back if this is not going to be your forever home.
