    How much is the house worth, finished? Is it to live or sell?

    Do you think a £3k family kitchen, including appliances, tiling and fitting is the sort of thing that shows quality that people want to invest in or is that the sort of thing you want to live with? It won't last.

    As a small developer, people will expect touches somewhere.

    It's not an expensive area so £160k done is my guess for what the completed house is worth. In the area people would be very pleased with a 3k kitchen that's new with chrome appliances and wooden worktop and new white brick tiles.

    It's to live in but if it's easy ish then may sell and do another one in better area.

    I think there is no substitute for getting quotes.

    Cheers

    Ok so as an update myself and my wife were getting quotes c.£100-120k.

    I didn't see it viable so sold the land on and made money that way.

    A developer bought it and threw up a house in 3 months and put it on market

    Apparently he built it for c, £70k. It looks lovely quality.
