Would cost around the £14000 mark depending on medicals used and what design you wanted might need planning permission before work could commence
It's fairly simple to achieve, you just need your brickwork to be sound in order to match up to the existing above, essentially the building above from what you say is lintels rested on corner pillars?
You will still need a cavity in the walls and the correct air bricks to keep moisture out, and allow air to pass under the floor. As for price that's not something I can tell you off the top of my head, I don't know the area you live, materials and labour prices vary a bit across the country.
Without looking at the job be hard to quote really . Its a simply enough job to complete .
it will require 3 double skinned walls with insulated cavities timber flooring would expect costs in excess of £3000
It is certainly possible, however it must be done in compliance with Building Regs. It will need to be of double skin construction with a 100mm /10cm cavity. The floor could be done either with timber joists or raised with insulation with screed over.
The cost of the conversion/alteration will depend on size and specification.
