Highgate is Georgian village houses around Pond Square and the High Street, Victorian villas on the slopes, and the Holly Lodge Estate's 1920s houses towards Dartmouth Park. Rear and lower-ground extensions are the common Highgate projects, plus orangery-style additions to the villas; the hillside plots often allow a lower-ground family room.
Budget guidance for Highgate: expect £2,500–£4,000 per m² for a single-storey extension, which puts a 25–30 m² kitchen extension at £75,000–£120,000; two-storey and wraparound schemes are priced on the structure involved (see our house extension cost guide). Highgate is a conservation area split between Haringey and Camden councils, with Article 4 directions on the Holly Lodge Estate and listed buildings around the village. Where approval from Haringey or Camden Council, depending on the street is needed, our in-house design team prepares and submits the application.
Loft conversions in Highgate
Highgate's Victorian villas have the roof volume for a two-room conversion; the Holly Lodge houses take a rear dormer, and the village houses need a conservation-led design.
Typical London figures are £25,000–£45,000 for a Velux conversion, £45,000–£75,000 for a dormer and £60,000–£100,000+ for a mansard (details in our loft conversion cost guide). Every Highgate loft quote follows a measured survey of the roof, head height and stair position, and includes Building Regulations sign-off, fire doors and structural calculations.
