Double glazing costs...

You can defintely have double glazed wooden windows - it would be a mistake to have upvc windows on a period house like that one. decorating looks fine, just do a room at a time after you move in.0

I suppose we can put an offer on then get a quote for doing it. I don't think it's going to be too much of an issue. Good quality wooden everest ones would be nice. Fingers crossed second viewing goes well. We can't stop talking about it.

I think UPVC windows would set you back at least 8k. Wooden ones even more. I would budget at least 12k.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

I would imagine that UPVC ones would devalue the house though, most people after a house like that would hate UPVC, and not only would it devalue it would put a lot of prospective potential future buyers off.Pawpurrs x

I disagree, the insulation and security on upvc will be better. You can get some wood style upvc that looks good from a distance. Just my personal opinion and I have a similar style house.
Whatever you go for, you don't want everest, that will cost you 50% more than a local operator.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

But you don't live in a house from a distance, and when you come to sell your prospective purchasers won't be looking from a distance.
Overall they do devalue a period property; in some areas you can take the unadulterated price and minus the cost of plastic windows from the value. It's the stick-on glazing bars that scream fake. Declutterbug-in-progress.⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️0 -
Just being nosey but notice it's on with a few agents. Are you going in with a cheeky offer? ~Laugh and the world laughs with you, weep and you weep alone.~:)

Shows they are serious sellers. Either want to maximise exposure to get the best price, possibly hoping for competing buyers or they are desperate and need a quick sale.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.
