  • Has anyone got any experience doing a full refurb and extension?

    A house near us has just appeared back on the market - a full 1930s detached, and seems in basically original condition. Obviously needs loads of work just to be livable, but where do you even start assessing how much that costs before I decide if I could afford to buy?

    Random websites indicate something like 700-1000 per m² but has anyone got any tips / first hand experience how they did something similar?

  • a full refurb and extension?

    yep we did for about 65k ALL in, Victorian end of terrace about 1200sq ft or something, extension is 3 meters with 3 velux.

    IKEA kitchen, laminate floors, nothing extravagant.

    We have a young kid and when she destroys things I feel nothing. Once she is of a certain age and I am more financially secure I will get on the 40k kitchen wagon.

  • No you didn't you big liar!

  • yep we did for about 65k ALL in

    Are we talking side return extension? If so, was £65k the all in cost for the side return and kitchen or refurbing the whole place too?

    This sort of talk gives me hope - our budget for doing our new place is, er, tight...
