How much does an architect charge for an extension in London?

23 March 2025

LNK BRICKWORK

The cost of hiring an architect for a home extension in London can vary widely depending on the complexity and scale of the project, the architect’s experience, and the type of services required. However, recent trends and industry reports from 2023-2024 offer some insight into what homeowners might expect to pay when engaging an architect for a residential extension.

Typical Fees for Architects in London (2023-2024)

In London, architects typically charge in one of two ways: a percentage of the total construction cost or a fixed fee for specific services. The choice between these depends largely on the project's size, scope, and the level of involvement you require from the architect. 

Percentage of Construction Cost

This is the most common pricing model, where the architect’s fee is based on a percentage of the total construction cost. The average percentage in London ranges between 8% and 15% of the overall build cost. For a more straightforward home extension, the fee might be on the lower end of this scale, while for larger or more complex projects (e.g., basement extensions, multi-storey additions), it could be higher.

 Example:

If you’re looking to extend your home with a £150,000 budget, the architect’s fee could range from £12,000 to £22,500, depending on the complexity of the design and the level of service provided. For a simple ground-floor extension, the fee could be closer to 8%, while for more bespoke or high-end projects, it could climb to 12-15%.

Hourly or Daily Rate 

   For smaller or less involved projects, some architects may charge an hourly or daily rate, which in London can range from £50 to £150 per hour depending on the architect’s experience and reputation. More established architects or those from high-end firms may charge upwards of £200 per hour. For a typical small extension, you might expect to spend anywhere from £5,000 to £10,000 on architectural fees if billed by the hour or day.

Fixed Fees for Specific Services 

   For some projects, architects will offer a fixed fee for specific services such as planning permission applications, feasibility studies, or technical drawings. These fees can range from £1,500 to £5,000 depending on the scope. If you need help with obtaining planning approval or detailed construction drawings, the cost could be closer to the higher end of that scale.

Key Factors Influencing Costs

Size and Complexity of the Extension

   A straightforward, single-storey extension to the rear of the property will be cheaper in terms of architectural fees than a two-storey side extension with significant structural changes, or a more creative design with bespoke elements like glass features or complex structural work.

 Statistical Insights

   A report from the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) in 2023 noted that the average cost of an architect’s services for a small residential extension in London was around £8,000, but could escalate to £20,000 or more for larger, more complex projects.

Project Location

   The location of the property within London can also affect the fees. Architect fees in areas like Central Londo or prime locations such as Kensington, Chelsea, or Mayfair tend to be higher due to the higher demand for architectural services and a concentration of well-established, high-end firms. In outer boroughs or less affluent areas, fees may be slightly lower.

 Example:

   According to the London Planning Permission Report 2024, architects in prime central London areas can charge up to 20-30% more or their services compared to architects working in outer London boroughs like Croydon** or Brent.

Experience of the Architect

   Established and renowned architects, particularly those with a portfolio of high-profile residential projects, can command premium fees. On the other hand, newer firms or independent architects may offer lower fees, but this often comes with less experience or a more limited design approach.

  Market Insight:

   Data from **Dezeen** (a global architecture and design magazine) in 2023 indicated that for a typical home extension in London, the fees charged by top-tier architects from well-known firms could start at £15,000 and go upwards to 50,000 or more for highly bespoke designs.

Additional Costs to Consider

Beyond the architect’s fees, homeowners should also factor in other related costs that contribute to the overall expense of a home extension:

1. Planning and Permission Fees

   The cost of planning permission in London can range from **£200 to £1,000**, depending on the complexity of the proposal and the local authority. Some architects may assist in preparing and submitting planning applications, which could be included in the overall fee or charged separately.

2. Building Regulation Fees

   Building control fees for an extension in London typically range from £300 to £800, depending on the scale of the project. Again, this may or may not be covered by the architect’s service.

3. Surveyor and Engineering Fees

   For structural surveys, engineering assessments, and other technical evaluations, you might need to budget an additional £1,000 to £5,000, particularly for complex or high-spec extensions.

4. Construction Costs

   Finally, the actual cost of building the extension itself is a major consideration. In London, construction costs for home extensions have risen sharply, with figures from the London Construction Costs Guide 2024 showing that typical costs range from £1,500 to £2,500 per square metre. So, for an extension of around 30 square metres, you could expect to pay anywhere from £45,000 to £75,000 for construction alone, not including architect or other professional fees.

Summary of Architect Fees for Home Extensions in London (2023-2024)


When planning an extension in London, architects’ fees are a significant part of the overall budget but can provide invaluable benefits in ensuring the design is safe, compliant, and aesthetically pleasing. Given the high construction costs in the capital, investing in a skilled architect can save you money in the long run by helping you avoid costly errors or regulatory issues. As always, it’s advisable to get multiple quotes and clearly define the scope of services to ensure that you are receiving the best value for your investment.
