What can change a real Brighton quote?

  • Bathroom size and finish level
  • Moving toilet, bath, shower or basin positions
  • Wall and floor tiling area
  • Bath, shower and enclosure specification
  • First- and second-fix plumbing
  • Electrical work and ventilation
  • Underfloor heating, plastering and decoration

Local planning considerations

Coastal exposure, conservation areas, parking and restricted access can affect individual quotations beyond the broad South East planning model.

  • Exterior specifications may need more attention where a property is exposed to coastal weather and salt-laden air.
  • Tight street access or controlled parking can change waste, scaffold and delivery logistics even when the underlying project is unchanged.
  • Check listed-building or conservation constraints before assuming a standard window, roof, rendering or extension specification.

How the regional model works

The 1.15× factor places this planning estimate 15% above the national planning baseline. We keep that modelling assumption separate from the dated national benchmark so users can see which part comes from an external source and which part is UK Home Costs modelling.
