A Loft conversion in Barnet Will add value to your house, the amount of value will depend on the type, size, and the area. How much value are we talking about, If you could convert a three-bedroom house in Barnet into a four-bedroom house with a loft conversion in Barnet costing you: £30,000 -£40,000, you could get that amount back, and pocket an extra 10% - 15% of the house value, so if your house is worth £300,000 and you spend lets say £30,000 on the loft conversion costs in Barnet, you would already make £45,000, on the value that a loft conversion will yield, and have an extra bedroom with a bathroom.

Estate agents too say that a fourth bedroom is the single most valuable feature a family house can have and usually converting a loft is simpler than building an extension. Also leading mortgage lenders cite a loft conversion as the single best way of increasing a property's value.

The Nationwide building society backs that up saying that 300 square feet of loft space converted into an en-suite bedroom could add more than 20% to the asking price when you come to sell and according to the Federation of Master Builders making use of the loft space can add as much as 15% to a property's value. It is important that loft conversion costs in Barnet are reasonable therefore.

The most important point to bear in mind is that a loft conversion should not look or feel like an add-on because if it does it will add less to the value of the house. The staircase is the key to making a conversion look as though it is part of the original house. Wherever possible the staircase should be a natural continuation of the original staircase so that the transition from 'old' to 'new' is seamless and within the conversion itself the style should follow that of the rest of the house ie skirting boards, architraves, picture rails, ceiling heights etc. these things can affect loft conversion costs in Barnet
