How much does a barn conversion cost per square metre?
We're in the process of buying a small stone barn in Yorkshire with planning consent already in place. It's roughly 120 square metres over two floors, watertight but nothing inside and no services connected yet. Every online calculator gives us a wildly different figure, anywhere from £1,500 to £3,000 per square metre. What's a realistic number to budget for a full conversion these days?
Expert Trade Answers
"For a 120m² barn conversion in the UK, the cost per square metre depends heavily on the condition of the barn and how much work is already done.
A good working budget would be around:
£2,200–£2,500/m²
For 120m², that gives a build cost of approximately:
£264,000–£300,000"
