I'm sure this is asked all the time, but can anyone (perhaps people with experience of doing up properties or who have recently had lots of stuff done ...) help with some very ballpark figures to help with decision-making, and help make sense of quotes?
2 bed flat in London (zone 2).
It needs some work:
- 2 x new bathrooms (one a full bathroom, one a teeny en-suite) - fitting, tiling etc.
- a new kitchen - fitting, tiling etc.
- new flooring (wood, or perhaps nice laminate) throughout the whole property.
- new emersion heater (it's all electric and this is elderly and very scaled up).
- replacing old storage heaters with something else (not sure what, maybe just new ones?)
- decorating throughout the whole property.
Could anyone say (as noted, just an estimate) what all this might come to, including fittings and labour, in total? For various reasons we would have to buy in labour for the whole lot rather than being able to do it. For the bathrooms and kitchen what's required is just fresh/clean and new - low to mid price rather than luxury for budget - none of your Corian worktops.
I would be grateful for any help.
