I'm looking at buying this house. Two things stand out that need doing:
(1) remove old gas fire in living room and cap pipe safely so i can put a real open fireplace back in.
(2) it's got a fitted electric cooker with no gas point in kitchen and i want to put in a gas point so i can have a gas hob. strangely the boiler is in the loft(?!) so not sure where the nearest gas pipe is.
can anyone give me a guesstimate as to how much each of these might cost. I'm sorry, I know I'm not meant to ask about costs here, but I can't just get quotes - everyone I ring says stuff like "oh I can't tell you anything until I've seen it - when can I come round?"... answer, of course, you can't come round because I haven't bought the house yet, and I can't reasonably ask the owner to let me show 3 corgi blokes round the house on separate days, not when there are people queuing up to buy the place on a single viewing.
i just want ballpark estimates - £100, £500, £2k or £5k?
any help much appreciated.
