about 50K, bit less if on a tight budget.
You need to go and visit the planning department first, and talk to the forward planning duty officer. They normally have a walk in surgery each week, ask at the council front desk.
That way you'll get an idea if the idea broadly fits into council plans.
Take a plan and pictures fo the plot and drea. But don't rely on anything verbal, its to just to give you an idea if its worth planning further and spending on an architect or the permission fees.
bandit was either ripped off or got a top-range 6 bed detached for that price. A 2-bed semi is less than £50K all done.

CORRECTED VERSION: There are several different types of houses. They vary based on the area one lives in. Houses include semi-detached, detached and terraced. A typical house includes a bathroom, a WC, kitchen, living/dining room and at least one bedroom. The prices of houses over the past 10 years have surged, and first-time buyers find it difficult to climb up the property ladder. Places where houses are cheaper (i.e. the north), the pay is not as good. In the south east, especially certain parts of London, the rate of pay is extremely high, and that reflects the prices of housing there. The government has set regulations about what any new house that is built must include. This includes double glazing, central heating, and various other components. Recently, the government introduced new Home Information Packs that house owners will need in order to sell their house. These have been made compulsory for all two or more bedroom houses, as far as I am aware. The cost of these packs is around £800, and does cause people to shy away from selling houses.

Depends on where you live and material you use. How big a structure you plan to build i,e, room sizes. If you are starting from scratch then plan on at least $35,000 and that's for something very small and then i am lowballing If you want to do the job right you need to figure out deminsions of structure then start costing out materials that you want to use.. Are you doing the work yourself? You will need to pay a plummer and most likely an electricai to insure code..You know your local building inspectors will be checking everything with a fine tooth comb for compliance Good Luck

Can't give you a cost but--- from personal experience:
Multiply any price estimate by 1.5 and QUADRUPLE any time estimate! To do a similar job (starting in Apr of 2004) we were quoted 185k and 4 months! Reality- It took about 300k and 16 months!!!

get yourself a builder who will come round and give you a price for the build then a plumber electrician, plasterer, decorator, in all i think it will cost you between 40 an 60 grand!

It depends on where you live and what the Codes and things are to some extent- but for guess work- figure $100 per SF.
