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!)
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.
