Hello!
I am just wanting a bit of advice, we have had an offer accepted on a property.

It has a suspended ceiling in the kitchen dinner, which we are planning to remove. However, when we have been back for a second viewing we were looking in the pantry cupboard and it appears that there are lot of pipes and wiring in between the suspended and original ceiling.

What would be the likely costs and implications of having to have all of the pipes and wiring moved back under the original ceiling?

Too many variables too answer

Size of ceiling, how many pipes , what type of pipe, any electric cable , what's the suspended ceiling made from , what's the original ceiling made from, where you live etc etc
 
Probably significant- lots of possible reasons for the suspended ceiling being there in the first place. Quite possibly the original ceiling above has Artex or similar on it so its been encapsulated rather than torn down. If the kitchen is an outrigger then the joists might run the wrong way for pipework/cabling & notching would have been excessive & outside permitted allowances.

If your buying the house for 100/2oo thousand pounds or more so what if theres a few bits need doing. most houses need a bit of work. dropping ceilings and rerouting pipes and cables is neither here nor there. Its simple basic work. Especially if the house is unoccupied or rooms are unfurnished.
