Yet again, AKICOLJ

The new house has a cloakroom next to the kitchen, which we would like to (get someone to) turn into a utility room. So, remove the basin, loo and radiator; install plumbing for washing machine, and shelves.

Any ideas on how much this might cost?

Yes. This.

I specifically clicked to comment: Are you sure? Taking out the downstairs loo will negatively affect the resale value of the house, so unless you are absolutely certain you want to stay in this house long-term, and/or can't manage with the washing-machine in the kitchen or wherever it is now *and* are willing/able to soak up the effect on the house value as well as the conversion costs, this might be worth a rethink.

In particular, I'd add to DJ's points that I could *really* have done with a downstairs loo in 2005, and last year and this have been very grateful to have had one, both for myself when pregger and with El potty-training.
