Panes of glass are cheap, looking at the quote I had for sash window refurb I was paying ~ £325 for a window refurb including minor repairs and replacing cracked panes was an extra £50.
For the really knackered ones I paid about a grand which involved replacing the existing rotten sash with a hardwood, double glazed replacement.
I would agree with getting those fans out of the window, you'll probably need permission from the freeholder to cut holes in the wall for fans though. I'd go with no fans if necessary rather than window fans though.

Thanks this is really helpful.

Which part of the country is that in? Should get a quote back soon myself.
double glazed replacement
Would they be able to put say double glazing in some of the panes and keep the top dome shaped ones single glazed to keep cost down do you think (saves making bespoke double glazing if the rectangular bit is standard)?

completely agree. Will ask the neighbouring flats what they do for extraction.

Flat transaction is progressing nicely i think. Can't get full survey until 8th sept, tenants leave on 17th and hopefully be in by end of sept.
Viewed it again yesterday with my dad and a sash window guy.
Not that deep because will be getting the windows restored but one of the four lounge windows had a broken pane that I swear wasn't there when I viewed it. The kitchen one definitely had a broken pane.
Stained glass window is going to be a huge pain/bill to sort. It's next to the bath with a metal frame so is all rusted. If a quote comes in at ££££ do I mention it?
The kitchen and bathrooms extraction systems being holes in nice windows isn't great. Would rather them be restored and have a proper extractor fan in each one
