For investors, sourcers & packagers

Cost the conversion before you offer.

Set the layout you have in mind and the schedule builds itself, line by line, with the licensing and fire-safety triggers flagged as you go. Send us the listing or floorplan afterwards and we'll return a fixed-price schedule of works, usually within 48 hours.

Configure the schemeReset
Region

Labour and material rates vary across England and Wales. Weighting is applied to the whole scheme.

Lettable rooms

Seven or more rooms is sui generis in planning terms and always needs full permission. Above ten we price individually.

Storeys

A third storey changes the fire strategy, not just the floor area.

Condition on completion of purchase

Applied to construction works only. Fixed fees and specialist systems are unaffected.

En-suite shower rooms

Room-in-room build, mechanical extraction, tiled throughout.

2 rooms
Communal bathrooms

Most councils look for one bathroom per four to five occupants, counting en-suites.

1 new
0 refurbished
Main kitchen

Sized to occupancy — units, worktop, oven, hob, extraction and space for two fridge-freezers.

Kitchenettes

Second prep point on upper floors. Sink, two units, hob, fridge and microwave.

0 units
Heating

A full upgrade is a system boiler, unvented cylinder and radiators sized to occupancy. Radiators only replaces emitters and TRVs on the existing boiler and pipework.

Fire strategy & certification

A Grade D LD2 interlinked system is in the base price. These are upgrades on top.

Services & structure

Add whatever the survey or EICR is likely to throw up.

Schedule of works
Indicative budget
Per bedroom
Bathrooms per person

Indicative only, based on a standard mid-terrace or semi-detached house in sound structural order. Rates are indexed to our Manchester base and weighted by region. The lower figure is our published starting price for this specification; the upper figure carries a 15% pre-survey tolerance. A fixed price is issued once we have seen a floorplan and completed a site check. Excludes VAT, furniture, licence fees and any council-specific amenity standards above the national minimum.
