Ah ha! Differing articles. Now it makes sense.
Looking forward to seeing how you take on your new place!

I'd missed the £75k post so presumably the £15k was for the kitchen which makes more sense.
It's going to be on a tight budget, I've spent most of this weekend staring at spreadsheet and researching stuff. We need to do a side return extension and new kitchen (need is a strong word but see current bathroom and kitchen below) as part of the initial work and given our budget is two Kitchen kitchens it's hard to see how this isn't going to suck up all of our budget.
This would leave us nothing for the rest of the house which is actually where the quick wins are (taking up ugly flooring, painting magnolia walls, that sort of thing) so we haven't even exchanged yet and I'm already stressing about the budget :/
Need to talk to some builders.

We're part of the way through doing similar scale of work to them in Edinburgh and there's probably 10k of work in just knocking the wall down, replastering, electrics and plumbing to get the shell ready for the 15k of decorating and installing a kitchen.

I don't know, I just read the articles!
I doubt they did the work themselves, they're architects, it's their job to come up with expensive difficult to implement ideas then have a paddy when trades struggle to execute them ;)
Seriously though when Luke worked on our project he was very sensible. But yeah, no architects fees, obviously. For me it's been helpful because it's shown me ways we could save money on doing our place, such as Ikea kitchen (I think ours will be mostly Ikea with some dbr magic) and cheap tiles...
This article has more links to the exact stuff they used:
