[QUOTE="D14, post: 7602175, member: 49382"] So had a word with the local planning authority and they said it wouldn't be an issue as long as I was realistic with the conversion. Then spoke to an independent planning agent who said the same so thats all ok. Then had a shock when I spoke to a local architect as she said building materials supply is getting worse so budget on 50% extra presently to do the conversion from what I thought. So I had a basic list drawn up and called a couple of building merchants and as the architect said everything has shot up a lot. For example wooden rafters were £13 but now £25 each. Bag of cement if you can get hold of any is now £10. Local plaster told me the same but he's booked out for 12 months. So I think I am going to leave it at least 12 months and just get the roof sorted which we have materials to do as it'll be one less job to do down the line. We'll get planning submitted and secured in the meantime as its relatively small cost to do this. [/QUOTE]
