Side Return Advice - Landells Road


Dulwich-ite

Recommended Posts

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,

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,

    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
    • I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️
