Hello everyone,
Long time lurker, but I'm so grateful to have learned so much you all! First time buyer but I’m keen to find out what your thoughts are regarding what you feel are reasonable rough costs for a three bed renovation.
I’m looking to almost completely renovate a three bed house (1950’s build I think). This includes
- stripping the walls of previous wall paper
- Ripping all ceilings out
- Replastering the walls and ceilings
- new flooring throughout (mix of carpets, wood and tile.)
- new kitchen (including regular plumbing and electrics) - small (About 3x3) but needs some gas and water pipe rerouting within the room
- complete rewire of electrics including repositioning of sockets and switches (to conform with current safety guidelines), new fuseboard, smoke/carbon monoxide detectors
- removal of a small, non structural concrete/brick (I’m not sure what material it is) cupboard
- Changing the central heating from cylinder/tank to combi boiler with new rads and pipes and repositioning of rads
- New skirting, architraves and doors (doors to be at least wood veneer for longevity), door furniture
- painting/decorating
- minor cosmetic touch ups to bathroom
I wondered what your opinions are regarding how much you think this may cost? It’s always good to get info from those who have done it before or in the trade or have any idea! The house is in north London and I know that things vary slightly depending on quality of trimmings, room sizes etc, but I was looking for a rough figure to work towards at least. All will be done by various professionals in their field, I like to muck in where I can but because of work commitments, I’ll have to sit this one out.
Any ideas/advice would be very very much appreciated!
thank you 🙏
