Good afternoon!
I'm potentially looking to purchase a house that currently has no central heating at all. Here is a gas supply to the property, it's under the stairwell. I'm a first time buyer, so don't really have much of a clue when it comes to this, but I'm aware that since it's an old property that I plan on doing up, the first jobs should be a full rewire (believed to be 1950's wiring - the house dates to the 1890's), and a full central heating system. Its going to require 8 or 9 radiators for a three bed property. A quick British Gas quote has so far come up with £6200, but the estate agent showing the property to me thinks that's excessively high and could be done cheaper. So - is her rough idea of £4000 achievable or likely? Does this mean ripping walls apart? Just exactly what am I letting myself in for here?
Thanks for any pointers! (And recommendations in the plymouth/Devon area would be great!)
