There’s cost to do the work required to make it habitable, like new roof, and there’s cost to make it as you want it. Only one really makes a difference to what you offer.

it really depends on what you do and the specs of the renovation.
If you know and can send a builder, do it.
If you really have no idea, count between 500£(v cheap) and 1k (nicely done) per sqmgenerally a place that needs a lot of work will be a better deal than paying for something that has been done up to sell.

How’s best to get an idea of the cost of renovating a house before putting an offer in?
Find a friendly builder and do a second viewing?
Expect the worse and total up average costs of re-wiring, plastering, plumbing etc. etc?
Offer somewhere in a rough range and re-negotiate after the survey?
Had our first four viewings today and naturally the one we liked most needed to most work (and quite a lot of it!)
