I have a semi-detached three bedroom house in North London. And I wanted to do three things to it:
1) Turn the garage into a living room, or something similar
2) Build a room above the garage
3) Build a window for the loft and clean it and everything
I know it is hard to give an accurate number of how much it would cost, but I would be really grateful for if someone can tell me how much approximately it would cost me.
Thanks guys

anything between 15K and 50K, maybe even 75K
Some things to note:
The garage may need to come down - its walls, cavities, floor or foundations may not be up to spec to build on
Garage may be covered by a covernent
Planning will insist you provide additional parking to replace the space you loose in the garage. They may also add in further parking for the added bedrooms.
A loft conversion is not just putting in a window. It'll need floor joists ( ceiling joists are not suitable ) and possible structural survey to re-distribute loads. Then there is electrics, heating, flooring, insulation, fire escape. Water tank ?? If you have one and can't move it to the eves you'll have to convert to a pressurised system. You could spend £30-£50 on a london loft conversion without trying too hard.
All would be subject to full planning permission and building regs.
