What can change a real Brighton quote?
- Number, type and quality of kitchen units
- Laminate, timber, quartz or stone worktops
- Appliance package and brands
- Whether plumbing or electrics move
- Flooring and decoration
- Removal and disposal of the old kitchen
- Room size, access and regional labour pricing
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.
