Removal of conservatory cost?

TELLIT01

Once our roof is replaced, the space will fully conform with building regs but there is no way I would remove the existing doors between the conservatory and main house.  Any room with predominantly glass walls will still be losing heat far faster than the rest of the house.  We will simply open the doors when we want to.

Rough estimates above seem to be in the ~£3k+ ballpark to have it removed and the ground made good. In addition, £2-5k for new bifolds, windows and making good the rest of the house wall.

So, quite possibly around £8k and even more, and you end up with - nice bifolds, pal.

Shoooorley potential buyers would much rather at least have the option of it being dismantled, larger founds put in, and it reassembled, but with an insulated floor, dwarf walls and solid roof - ideally with some 'lights? I know I would. It looks like a lovely addition to the house, and could be amazing if made into a 'proper' room. (You might have to pretend it's separate - ie with doors between it and the kitchen - until BC walk away...)

Just be upfront when you come to sell, tell them the options they'll have depending on their whim, and make clear you are including a £5+k discount for this. I'd be dismayed if I found that such a lovely connie had been thrown away from a house I was looking at. What a project. And what a room it could be at a fraction of having it bought from scratch.

I also suspect that many buyers would just fill these cracks and live with it... :-)   

That's really useful thanks.  You'd think buyers would rather the option but it doesn't seem so! 
We have been totally upfront and told them we are taking £15k off the house price because of it - you don't want to buy it do you? 

Yup! :-)

Make me an offer....

It's such a shame, J_S - I hope you manage to sell, ideally with the connie still there.
