Also sought a quote from a local builder via MyBuilder - based on a pre-purchased kitchen from Ikea and me supplying white goods, etc... all of the major works (bullet list above) came out around £12k.
Because I'm having to set so many wrongs right, and put in safe electrics, gas, plumbing, lighting, replace boiler, etc... and all of the costs to get that done... even if I go cheap I'm still going to be in the £20-25k region.
This is inclining me towards doing the work to a high standard... I'd rather pay £55k and have something significant to show, than pay £25k and it being much the same but without the major risks and issues it has today.
