Frequently Asked Questions

Essential guidance covering London planning constraints, investment ranges, and single-contract management.

Complete house renovations in London typically range from £50,000 to £120,000+ for mid-to-large residential properties, depending on structural reconfigurations, MEP upgrades, and bespoke joinery specifications. Full commercial fit-outs range from £65,000 to £500,000+. Every Habitable Dreams project includes detailed transparent itemization before contract signing.
London house extensions average £2,500 to £3,500 per square metre. A typical 20 m² single-storey rear or side-return extension baselines at approximately £50,000 to £70,000 including structural steelwork, glazing, and first-fix mechanical services.
Many single-storey rear extensions and internal refurbishments fall within Permitted Development Rights (PDR). However, properties within London Conservation Areas (such as Kensington & Chelsea or Westminster) or listed buildings require Full Planning Permission and Listed Building Consent. Our ARB architects handle all municipal applications, Lawful Development Certificates, and Party Wall notices.
Unlike traditional procurement where clients hire architects and contractors separately (often leading to disputes and finger-pointing), Habitable Dreams provides unified single-contract accountability from architectural design and structural engineering through to turnkey construction. Furthermore, under our Synergetic Spaces policy, we only invoice once you have formally approved the design package.
A bespoke bathroom refurbishment typically requires 2 to 4 weeks on average, covering strip-out, British Standards waterproofing tanking, plumbing first-fix, precision porcelain/microcement tiling, sanitaryware installation, and snagging.
