Side Return Advice - Landells Road

[Dulwich-ite]

Hi All,

First time poster and will be a resident in East Dulwich very soon.

We have recently bought a 2 bed terrace house on Landells Road.

We would like to have the side return extension done.

HOWEVER, some of the prices that are being thrown around terrify me.

The area of the side return is around 6.88 sq meters. The kitchen in its current state is 7.17 sq m.

Could anyone please advise what the building costs of this would be (ignoring the cost of the kitchen itself)?

To cut back on cost we would likely not extend past the current length of the house. The doors etc don't need to be too fancy.

Any help/experience would be massively appreciated. Any builders out there please chip in!!

Thanks in advance,

Dulwich-ite

Have a word with Angela Lyon of Orbital Chartered Surveyors. As a Chartered Quantity Surveyor she can cost a project accurately to within pennies. No shabby estimates with her. As a Chartered Buildings Surveyor, yup, she's double chartered, she can take into consideration factors relating to the existing building and if you like her over-all cost, she can get the whole project done for you under one roof, which is her motto. She's over 40 years experience in this (started in her teens). It's worth a chat with someone that knows what they're talking about at least. Then you'd get an idea if the prices you're getting are realistic or off this planet.

Hi Jimi,

Thanks for your advise, that is not a route we had previously considered.

It would be great to hear from anyone who has done a basic side return extension on a 2 bed Victorian.

I should have mentioned, it is end of terrace if that makes a difference...

Many thanks,

I was quoted ?25K for a 1.6m x 3m side return appended to a kitchen 2.1m x 3m, including a basic kitchen refit but excluding appliances. This was after I had told them I wanted to keep the spec very basic.

Thanks Azira. That sounds much more in our ballpark. Can you please let me know who that was through?

I thought that price was pretty awful value so didn't keep the details I'm afraid - particularly considering when we redid the kitchen it cost us less than ?2.5K including appliances.
