I'm at £90k spent so far on a refurb (no extension) of a 4 bed, 3 storey Victorian terrace. Will be another £10k to finish. Have literally done everything apart from floors and joists (which in fairness probably needed doing).
My advice is get a builder who will take the whole thing on. Add 25% contingency to yuor budget. In my case I had £0 for roof. Ended up being £14,5o0
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?
