Default Cost for garage extension/build on garage

Hi,

I am looking at houses, but not all already have one built!

SWMBO isnt happy with any we have seen so far, so it looks like work is
needed on whatever we buy.

Does anyone have a rough ballpark figure what cost am I looking at to

a) Build a single story brick built garage adjoining the property.

Well under 10K for that. My neighbour had his garage converted to a room
and a shower room fitted on the back of it, a sloping roof with tiles. That
cost £10k. A garage would be less. The doors & windows will only cost a
few hundred.

b) Build on top of a existing garage to create a first floor bedroom with
flat or apex roof.

Maybe a bit more than the garage!

I have guesses at about £25k for either option? Any I off the mark??


You're probably right if that includes full decoration too, maybe between
£20k and £22k.

Good luck. How about a loft conversion and a conservatory instead?
