We are, £40673 into a refurb of a 160sqm 1850s terrace without extension which has included
Structural wall removed, central heating, rewire, damp proofing, fireplace work, minor roofing, a new set of sash windows in a bay (complete waste of money, should have installed them myself) and installing a kitchen. We have done a lot of the dogs work ourselves, stripping everything, minor plumbing, plastering and electrics, painting, decorating and buying tools etc.
I think there's about 15k of work left, but when we started I had expected it to be in the region of 70k

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?
