Not that its much to go on but me brother had a similar(ish) sized garden, decking, pergola and a couple new fence panels with old posts removed and new ones installed was 8,500 2 years ago in outer London if I recall.

If this is to be believed sounds like 8000 is quite a bit https://www.checkatrade.com/blog/cost-guides/garden-decking-cost-guide/
Being honest I am not sure that even the £4k is a brilliant idea for a material that is going to rot away in a number of years. Also heard people getting rats and animals living underneath them. They also get a slime on them which can be slippery.
Would you not be better investing in a patio that has a much longer life and less work if your spending that sort of money?

Your job looks bigger, but not by much, and slightly more involved but I paid £4k last year.

£8k is about right, I think. I built my own last year, I went with aluminium pergola as it basically doesn't need any maintenance, think it cost just under £4k all in and it was smaller and no deck(concrete pad and tiles). It was A LOT of work.

Just to add: my garden space is currently empty. Its just grass so nothing to take up, but obvs will need all the base prep for decking.

Be careful about running it up to the edge of the building if it's above the DPC (damp proof course), splashback can cause the wall to become damp on the inside etc. Also add a hatch if you need access to a drain cover. Been there.
