We've just exchanged and are due for completion soon. I'm already on phone to builder companies to arrange quotes.
The 3 bed Edwardian (97sq m) house needs complete cosmetic overhaul (but no need for rewiring (relatively new) or anything structural like that). The only rooms untouched will be kitchen diner which are fairly recently done.
To move on from 80's style:
-Lounge needs carpets stripped and wooden flooring. All wallpaper stripped off and repainted. Alcove shelving fitted.
- same for hallway
- needs new bathroom, not just units, but also walls, flooring and extractor fan fitted. possibly lighting as well.
- all 3 bedrooms need new flooring and walls and ugly 70s grainy ceilings smoothed over
Can 10-20K budget stretch that far?! Or it would take at least 50K with non-cheapest-ever materials?
I have no experience, clue or mates who are tradesmen. We have 3 months before we can move in. Anything to minimise 'living on building site' would be great.
Any sense-talking welcome :) Thanks in advance!)
