Remodelling costs

Swri12345

Hi
Appreciate this is a piece of string question potentially but looking for people’s own experiences and costs of remodelling a house. The reason for asking is so that I can work out whether to get a higher LTV mortgage and save some for renovation costs. The house is 4 bed detached and pretty much stuck in the 70s/80s, when it was built, around 2000 sq.ft including garage. The list of work includes, 
Garage conversion to add more living space
Add double detached garage 
Reconfigure all of downstairs opening up kitchen/diner with living room and replace kitchen
Replacing downstairs wc with shower room 
Add 2 ensuites and walk in wardrobes
Replace family bathroom 
Rendering, and paving to the front
Full decoration 

A very long list of works as the house really hasn’t been touched probably since it was built. Ideas of ballpark costs would be appreciated.
Thanks

With all of that I'd just buy another house.

If only it was that easy to find something that comes readymade with all that in the right location (restricted by location in my case).

At least 45k for all building works at a mid range standard. This doesn’t include the double detached garage.

A very quick tot-up of £75k - and I wasn't being overtly generous with the kitchen/bathroom budgets at £10k/£5k for each.

Opening up downstairs? A piece of steel going from one side of the house to the other?

The cost will largely depend on where the en suites are going - are they near the existing waste pipes or are you looking at sani-flows? Are they near existing water pipes?  or will you be rerouting loads of pipes throughout the rest of the house?

I'm assuming you'll need extra plug sockets everywhere, though you haven't stated that. 

We have a similar level of work to do on ours and the kitchen extension/ garage conversion bit is looking at £75k with a very modest £15k kitchen in it  our partial rewire was £3k, we've redecorated the lounge and dining rooms which once wallpaper was removed required a full reskim, so that including paint, light fittings, flooring, soft furnishings were £3k.

Walk in wardrobe for the master room was £5k, the refitting of an already existing en suite was £3k.
That doesn't include the bits that presented themselves along the way. 

I think you need to look at about £100k.

Sounds a fantastic project and exactly the sort of thing we would do!

It would help if you said where in the country you are - there can be quite a difference in prices between the South East and the North.

There's also vast differences in finish. 

And the fact that none of us have even seen the house.    The question isn't a good one, frankly.

When people talk about 2,000 sqft with a garage and wanting more living space, that just sounds mad to me! But then we are currently in a 800sqft 3-bed!

I'd be looking at £100k+ for all of that.

£100k is what I was thinking too. Which is a lot considering most of it is just re configuring the house. I struggle to see that people went through the trouble of putting 4 bedrooms in a house and then just put one bathroom in. Why.
