How do I estimate what the final (decorative...) costs would be?
Wall surface in m² x £s = ans

Depends very heavily on whether you are a farrow and ball or dulux kind of guy. Repeat for flooring/carpets etc.

You send the surface/floorplan to 2/3 companies for quotes, describing what you need to be done in each room. Trying to get at least one quote to separate material from labour.

Finally found something we can put an offer on. It's in a '95 development in Glastonbury, large garden with lots of space. Owners are nice, the only problem is they've been there for the past 20+ years and accrued quite a bit of clutter everywhere. Not sure if they'll be able to move in time for the school year in September, also they know every house/neighbour in the development so they seem to have strong ties.
Another problem, they've kept the house in a good shape overall, but for instance flooring (entrance vs. kitchen) doesn't match since it's all done in different times. Upstairs is all old carpet which needs to go. Wallpaper choices are very questionable. Almost every room needs an update, flooring + walls. How do I estimate what the final (decorative...) costs would be?
