We have just bought a 1200sqft 3 bed victorian semi in Essex which needs renovating. We have had a quote from a reputable building firm and would like some oppinions.

They quoted:

Re-wire - £4000
Re-plumb - £4300
Re-plaster (Walls and ceilings 8 rooms 2 hallways) - £7100
Fit kitchen (Units not supplied) - £1400
Fit bathroom including tiling (Suite/Tiles not included)- £1900
Lay slate flooring (18m2) - £1450
Lay solid wood flooring (40m2) - £2000

Thanks

hi iam a property developer and we have just bought a large victorian house which is currently undergoing its renovations. i am not a builder but i think that some of your costs do seem high.
the rewiring, plumbing and plastering seem like average prices but the kitchen fitting and bathroom fitting all seem quite expensive to me.
We are turning our victorian property into two apartments so we have been priced for two large kitchens and two large bathrooms. The total cost of the kitchens and bathrooms including fitting and tiling with all adhesives and relevant equipment needed was £10,000. I must add that this isnt a cheap kitchen so when you think that you are paying £3500 to fit one bathroom and one kitchen thats almost half of what we paid for 2 kitchens and 2 bathrooms fully fitted and tiled.

just my opinion!!
