You also need to consider the cost of your architect's fees which can vary due to your location and the size of the architect firm. For a standard extension or loft conversion you can expect to pay around £1500 - £2000 for the design and preparing the planning application.
You will also need to budget for a block plan and a location for your planning application. If you hire an architect to create these for you expect to add significantly to the cost. It's important to get these plans right to avoid uneccessary expense and delay, if you make your own plans online, this might seem cheap however you may make an expensive mistake.
