There is no single reliable rate for conversion, and anyone who gives you one without looking at the building is guessing. A conversion can cost less than new build, because the frame, floors and envelope already exist. It can also cost considerably more if the structure needs strengthening, the floor plates do not suit residential layouts, or the building has to be stripped back to the frame.

What actually moves the number: structural alterations and strengthening, how much of the existing services can be reused, whether the building needs re-cladding or re-glazing, fire strategy and escape, acoustic separation between flats, ventilation and overheating, and how much of the internal layout can follow the existing structural grid rather than fight it.

That last point is where good design pays for itself. A plan that works with the structure is far cheaper than one that works against it, and that decision is made early, before an application goes in.

We would normally give a cost range at appraisal stage and tighten it as the design develops, rather than pretending a single figure is reliable on day one.
