How much did your house renovation cost and what work was involved?

How much did it cost you to renovate your house? What did you do? How many bedrooms do you have? Ect

It depends what you’re doing and where you are! Top to bottom in the north west of England for a 3 bed semi is about £50,000 which would include new boiler, new roof, windows, rewire, replaster and a basic new kitchen and bathroom. Absolutely double this if you want to extend in any way. It’s a lot more in other areas but you can save a lot by taking on some of it yourselves

Loads, I stopped counting and have repressed all thoughts and memories of that time period 🤣

Be specific if you want real answers. What size. What work. What area. What age of property. ‘Renovate’ has so many variations too.

Also any costs from pre covid wont be comparable because costs have gone up a lot since then.
E.g. Full new roof on a 6 bed terrace in 2010 was £10,000 new roof now on a 3 bed property with a smaller area is £20,000.
Same builder, same area of the country.

How long is a piece of string? We spent £250K renovating our 7 bed/3 baths Victorian house. That included kitchen extension, new kitchen and bathrooms, landscaping the garden, driveway, decoration, restoring all the period features, fireplaces, coving, floors and sash windows. It included all the boring stuff like pinning the walls and insulation.

I’ve done complete house renovations for properties that I’ve flipped for £30k, but that was before COVID. It would cost twice as much now.

About £400k 8 years ago. We made changes to most rooms but no new kitchen. Building work is usually much more expensive than you think imo.

About 100k for kitchen side return extension in London a couple of years ago. This was with some element of mates rates, we got one quote that was double that! It was quite complex structurally for various reasons

Wowsers!
I was quoted this for the labour only refurb of a 1 bed flat…. I was gobsmacked but it’s seems that prices are very high in London

3 bed 200yr old terrace. I'm 7yrs in and around 40k ish so far. Fix one bit and another bit needs doing.

It’s great up North that same 3 bed semi in my area also only cost you £185k

🤣

Shame it’s too far from the Tube tho….
