between 500£(v cheap) and 1k (nicely done) per sqm
this is good to know, thanks - we’re defo on the cheap side (also we’re up north) - house is probably 100sqm, imagine the roof might well need re-doing (loft hatch was screwed in place so couldn’t check anything internal).
@Señor_Bear - good point, definitely already looked at leaving the kitchen and bathroom as is for now as even if they’re tired and ugly, they’re functional.
In case folks are interested - it’s this:

its a very rough estimate, but if you have a new boiler to install, update plumbing with adequate pipes & radiators, install a new kitchen with appliances, new bathroom, new flooring (carpet or wood), plaster work, half of the windows, moving one or 2 partition walls, etc. you must not underestimate the budget.

When we bought, we arranged additional surveys on key concerns off the back of the homeowners survey (electrics, gas, roof, asbestos). This gave us a good idea of what needed doing, and the people doing the surveys were happy to discuss cost of repairs. We then worked out what reductions we wanted for what, and took the info to the seller. Worked well - got our reductions without seeming unreasonable.

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 sqm
generally a place that needs a lot of work will be a better deal than paying for something that has been done up to sell.
