Long term I’d like to convert it to a master bedroom with en suite. I understand it’s difficult to say, but how much can it cost to put right not including rest of the conversion?

Because the house is being sold with the loft as storage then the chances are that it will cost the same to do a proper conversion as it would if you were starting with a loft that hadn't had anything done to it.



What you pay for this house has to be the same kind of level as you would pay for a house with an ordinary loft that someone hadn't put a toilet into. So find a house in the same area with a loft that has not had any work done to it and see if you purchase price is the same. If it is more the house is likely to be overpriced because there is nothing about the loft that will save you any money over one that has not been tampered with.



You most like are not going to save any money having a loft conversion done. It is likely to cost you the same as a house that has the original loft. It could cost you more because you may have to undo what has been done to it before you can start the conversion.
