Is this a house you have already bought - or one you are thinking about buying? (ie as it sounds one heck of an expensive - and I am wondering if you have committed to this?)

Mr.Generous

about 250k the lot

I don't know about that much - but I bought a 2 bed detached bungalow in Wales and I figure what I have spent on it to date and what remains to spend (when I have the money) probably comes out around £60,000 to finish it to ordinary/everyday standard:eek: - and that's with only one external area of asbestos removed and the vast majority of doubleglazed windows and doors done already.

No garage. No rendering. No new roof. Still to do = kitchen, conservatory, garden and I lost count at around £35-£40k.

Depending where in South Wales, somewhere between "more than it'll be worth finished" and "FAR more than it'll be worth finished".

Agreed. It has to be worth it in other ways.

Despite only getting it together to very average standard - then, even before finishing it, I would not get back what I bought it for and what I've had to spend on it. That's with ignoring a couple of years house price inflation since buying it too...

You have to be "playing a long game" (ie 10 years at a guess imo) and carefully chosen the siting of house for it to be worth it from financial pov imo.

Have not bought it but thinking about it. It is about 75k under similar done up ones in area. This would be to then live in as very good area.
It looks structural as wall cracked in kitchen. Though not got a survey done yet. sEstate agent said to renovate without adding green house would be 20k but yes I was thinking more 60k also which then makes it a non starter. As could not live their for months either.

Thanks money, can you give me an idea what 35k did? As this is my max budget hence 60k too too much. I am only thinking basic also not high spec finishes
