Hello fellow property board people!
I've rented for years, want (desperately) to get on property ladder, very little on the market. I viewed a 1920s semi today. It needs a LOT of work.
Reluctant to post Rightmove link as might lose anonymity but will if it helps!
Needs rewiring, had a new boiler in 2015. Plastering needed to ceilings and walls. Roof looks ok. Garden needs overhaul. New kitchen and bathroom needed. Potentially move bathroom upstairs, room to extend into garden. Timber framed structure in garden which could come down and make lots more room. It's on at £325k. On market since June. Am waiting on update from Agents as to whether any previous offers have fallen through. Would it be cheeky to offer less given amount of work needed? Nice area, semi rural.
I've no idea where to start on costing any of this work! Can anyone give me ball park figures - rough estimates? I'd ideally live there whilst doing work very gradually - no rush, and would see it as my forever home dream project.
