    How much for garage with loft?

    I have an attached double garage which we'd like to raise the pitched roof on so that we can put in some sort of conversion. The garage isn't converted and I'd like to keep that space for the cars, but the extra room above it would be perfect for an office. How much does a garage with a loft cost now? If it impacts things much, we live in Nottingham
