What can change a real Edinburgh 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

Property type, access and conservation constraints can materially change individual quotations beyond the regional model.

  • Check conservation, listed-building and traditional-material requirements before assuming standard external alteration costs.
  • Upper-floor and tenement projects can require extra access, common-property coordination or scaffold planning.
  • Use Scotland-specific regulatory and grant information for compliance or energy projects rather than assuming Great Britain rules are identical.

How the regional model works

The 0.95× factor places this planning estimate 5% below 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.
