Mortgage for loft conversion

Hi there,
Would really appreciate some advice with this..
I'm having a loft conversion done this year on a paid off house, which will cost £45,000..
Planning to get a mortgage to pay for it.
Is this the best option given the amount?..
...and is a solicitor required for a (relatively) small mortgage for the transfer?
Huge thanks for any help..

Any form of secured lending wil involve a solicitor. As the lender will wish the security for the loan to be correctly charged.
For the amount and term of the debt a home improvement loan would appear to be the best option.0 -
Thanks for your reply Thrugelmir..
Wouldn't a home improvement loan cost a lot more in interest?
Would it be possible to borrow that much?
