flat dilema what i can and cant do
Comments

The extra space isnt essential but it was just a thought really for the future. It definately would need a new bathroom and kitchen to make it livable. Roughly how much would i be looking at for this and someone to fit them both?0

All it would need then is a bit of paint and it would be a nice flat its hard to look beyound it at the moment though!!! Also viewed a brand new flat today so having a big dilema as to what to do!!!0

OK. As the conservatory is mot essential at the momenr stop thinking about it, concentrate on the flat as it is and assume you will have to move if you need extra space in the future.
If you were to replace the kitchen and bathroom, redecorate and generally spruce the place up would it then be readily saleable if/when you want to move to somewhere larger? i.e. are there any other potential problems that would put buyers off? If there aren't, and you can finance the improvements and put up with the disruption I would consider putting in a lowish offer to reflect the work that needs doing.0 -
But what is a reasonable offer? It is on for £132,000 which i think is rather overpriced really for what it needs doing!!! Would £10,000 be a reasonable amount to expect to pay out to do it up?
I cant see any other problems with selling it in the future it has a lot of potential its just getting it to how id like it0 -
The £10,000 I mentioned above was just a guess. I don't have any recent experience of this sort of work so someone else may be able to advise you better.
Have you looked at sites like http://www.nethouseprices.com/ to see what similar properties sold for recently?0 -
Cool site thanks a nice englishman its very interesting it seems it has been quite overpriced compared to others.0

Well, if I was doing it myself I'd allocate around £700 for the bathroom bits, £700 for the kitchen bits, say around £1500 and then there'd be labour. Call it 2 weeks work for 2 people, I dunno, £5K. Yes, allowing a headline figure of £10K would be reasonable IMO.Roughly how much would i be looking at for this and someone to fit them both?
I'd put in a low offer and leave it at that.Happy chappy0
