Hi, I have recently bought a house in Sheffield (Walkley), which has a cellar I am thinking of converting, but I don't really know much about it or know anyone in the area to ask, so I wonder if you could answer a few questions for me:
1. How much roughly do you think it would add to the value of my property; currently 2 bedrooms (one in the attic), 1 reception room, kitchen/diner, bathroom, damp cellar, bought at 120k in the summer.
2. How much do you think the job should cost? The best quote I have received so far is 6k, which I think is reasonable, but some people think this is too much. The quote includes everything to convert it to a dry storage room using a cavity drain membrane system (no space for a window - so legally cannot call it a proper room)
3. Could you recommend anybody to do the job?
4. What are your experiences with cellar conversions? ie. has the system failed and you've been left with damp, how long did the job take, etc
And just any general extra information would be fantastic, thank you for anyones help in advance.
