OK, let's see if anyone out there has answers to these little beauties:
Background:
I'm considering a house on the market at the moment that's in need of a bit of work. It's Victorian, a semi... has four bedrooms and a loft conversion fitted. It looks soundly built but needs a hell of a lot of work doing. In fact it almost needs gutting. What I really need is an idea of how much it is going to cost and therefore if I can afford to buy it (and fund the improvements from the remainder of the mortgage).
So, I think it it might need:
1. New central heating throughout
2. Rewiring throughout
3. A new kitchen
4. A new bathroom
5. Miniature en suite (5' x 5') replacing
6. Hardstanding for one car
7. Garage to be built (reclaimed brick, not a flat roof)
8. Possible extension for new bathroom (above existing kitchen, 7' x 7')
9. Victorian fireplace to be put in
10. "Through" lounge diner to separated (bricked up and door installed)
11. Victorian tiles to be laid in hallway
12. Wallto be constructed in garden (60' I think - reclaimed brick perhaps)
Obviously new carpets and decor, but that's later.
Anyone any clues on how much each item might cost?
Any further details I'll need to provide to get a quote off anyone?
Any clues as to where I can go (on the web probably) to get an idea of price and supplies? (garages, Victorian tiles, fireplaces etc)
And the big question - how much is that little lot going to cost?
Realistically?
Any help gratefully received...
cheers
