    Its like asking how long is a piece of string really,

    Roof windows, double size, single, storage, en suite.

    Ball park figure 25 to 35K

    You'll need building regs etc.

    Mckneff is right - too much of an open ended question. Where you are based on the country will also have an impact as labour rates vary.
    Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.

    The size and height of your loft area and what you want 1/2 bedrooms plus bathroom?
    access from floor below, council planning, conservation area ?
    You will need building regs and it could cost more than its worth

    Think in the region of £30k-£35k for a proper loft conversion as suggested and you won't be far out.
    The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

    I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.
