What room should I do first

[Firsthousehelp]

Hello
Moving into a 1930's detached home next month.
I am at a loss what to do first as it needs updating and unsure where to start

Should I start with

• boiler works but is a hot water tank in the roof system. Family has the same and say don't replace if it's not broken as there's has been working well years. Others say to replace as eventually will need replacing and will cause a mess installing a new boiler system later.

-kitchen- it's abit of a weird one as they have integrated oven etc but the tiles are old.

Electrics- surveyor said no issues but because it's outdated may benefit from a new one

Luckily my parents live next door so not an issue with finding rental accommodation if needing to do repairs etc

I just want to know what I should focus on first.
Interior or replacing that boiler and electrics before I even attempt anything else.

Ant help and words of wisdom to this new first time buyer very much appreciated.

When we moved into this house we got an electrician to come and do a full inspection of the electrics and when he discovered it was as old as the house, but with a new circuit board stuck on the top, that obviously became our priority, so I'd recommend getting a proper investigation of that first - basically anything that might kill you! If it's just cosmetic, though, I'd recommend living there for a bit and it will quickly become clear which bits annoy you the most. For us it was the kitchen, which was tiny and just didn't work for us, so we had that done alongside the rewiring.

Leave the hot water tank, it will be needed as we switch over to heat pumps.

Electrics first definitely, as you’ll have to get them done eventually, and there’s a good chance that work will muck up the decor in other rooms. Then see where that particular rabbit hole leads you, it’s bound to throw up some previously unknown issues, these things always do. In our case, simply boarding the loft for storage ended up with a new kitchen, downstairs loo, and new consumer board.

Do the bones first.

Electrics, plumbing and heating, any reconfiguration of rooms, addition of fireplaces, roof and gutters.

No point spending £££ on pretty decor if it then has to be messed about with.

The general rule is that you fix the fabric of the building first, to keep the elements out, so the roof, render, doors and windows. Then the electrics, which usually ties into the plumbing and heating. When all that is sorted, if it wasn't already, then I would prioritise the kitchen, and a bathroom. After that, it really depends on your family. I would do the sitting room next, but I am 67 and have no GC to consider. If I was looking after a GC regularly, I would probably want the garden to be secure and accessible. Only you can order the priority list.

Electrics, plumbing, heating and then insulate the attic. Warm and cosy is the best way to start.
