  • What would £200k do for this?

    I'd say £100k would gut it, re-wire, re-plumb, re-plaster and put it back to a livable condition. Probably needs a new roof as well.

    Another £100k would put in a nice kitchen, maybe a side extension and a second bathroom.

    Idly speculating as I think that would be about what we could afford to put into it if we sold our current house. I suspect transaction costs, being further away from vic line and liverpool st line and the general hassle would put me off.

    But being able to start almost from scratch as an appealing project.

  • £100k? When do you want me to start? I reckon I could train as a plumber, electrician and plasterer and still have change.

    New heating would be less than £10k.
    A rewire maybe £5k.
    Hack off and replaster every room £10k max.
    Decorate £5k

    A new roof well under £20k, maybe nearer £10k.
