Ours is getting a full refurb, but over time. We've given ourselves 5 years to do everything. First thing has been roof and windows, which together are £30k. Which is all the cash we had after buying. Which is part of the reason we've given ourselves 5 years. But, as Dov reiterated to me, start from the outside and work in.
And it was handy, as we were this close to putting that £30k towards the deposit.

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?
