Do you only have one bathroom? Could you get away with a shower room/en suite for a bit until the budget is re-bolstered (assuming one exists or is being installed - not sure of the layout of the new place)?
We had five viewings over the weekend and speaking to the EA this morning, one has offered (but she wouldn't tell me how much for until they had proof of funds - which struck me as odd but it's only a couple of hours wait) and another is "likely to offer". Depending on how much they come in at, we will be making an offer on the fixer upper. To make this ramble relevant, everything needs doing, pretty much. But, it is liveable. The couple live there currently. The only thing we would be prioritizing is making sure everything is safe. Full fat survey then getting a spark in to replace the old fuse box with a newer CU. Following great advice up thread, this might unearth (pun intended), some re-wiring work. So we're not going to start anything major (new kitchen, bathrooms etc), until we know the extent of that. Just scrub up what's already there. The second BR is just a shower room really, and that shower is fucked so out of commission anyway. Planning to rip that out and try doing it myself. But, getting ahead of myself here, haven't had our offers yet.

Shite. Anything else than can be delayed/sacrificed? Sounds like something I would want fixed while living with something else not done yet.
