    I have just had a loft conversion and a small extension on the back of the house.

    Loft conversion is around 80m2 and the extension on the back a further 10m2. Overall cost for planning, build, sanitary ware, plumbing and electrics is around £160k. I got three quotations and the builders we used have been excellent.

    I’d say @Julian Broddle's Perm is pretty much on the money on costs having just gone through this. I’m sure you can find cheaper builders but getting a good job is very rarely the cheapest.

    Don’t forget that VAT is added at standard rate (20%) on house extensions.

    that's an incredible amount of money. hope your property value reflects it. my neighbour had similar done about 5 years ago when we moved in, and paid half that.

    How much does it cost?
    Penuma is the only penis enlargement surgery cleared for commercial use under the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) 510(k) regulation. The device is FDA-cleared for cosmetic enhancement. The procedure has an out-of-pocket cost of about $15,000 with an upfront $1,000 deposit.

    We went down the extension route after looking at moving. Stamp duty on a house move was going to be more than the cost of the extension.

    The cost 5 years ago probably would have been half but as mentioned earlier costs have escalated. Overall though we are very happy with the finished article. Gives me a nice view overlooking the Forth and the golf course.

    I've got no money. This isn't a bad thing, for all my adult life I've had less than no money, minus money, debt. But this month I paid off the last installment so I've finally got no money. Zero. None. Feels pretty good.

    So I can start saving. For a house. But apparently it costs £60,000 for an extension that I could just about lay down in so long as I don't have any furniture. Which I haven't, so that's lucky.

    Mortgage brokers want 20% deposit, so 12 grand, and I reckon, after I've paid the rent and bills and travel to and from work, and if I don't eat anything or go out anywhere ever, I could save 200 quid a month.

    To afford the deposit on an extension, it would take me 5 years to save, by which time I'll be closer to 60 than 50.Then I could start saving up for the deposit on a house to put the extension on.

    For ten grand less you could get a treehouse for a toddler (see Johnson story in news).

    Seriously though, well done on paying your debt off, it’s not an easy thing to achieve.

    As a rule of thumb it used to be 15 for a single and 25 for a double 10 years ago. Now it's more than double those figures. We will be in recession in 3 years time so if you can wait, you'll get it something reasonable again.
