Ha yes unfortunately so! Thanks everyone, I will reply in more detail tomorrow

Thank you...good idea! I don't have many of the actual Annexe, just this one looking from the back garden. It's on the right. Built in red brick. Building work stopped around 18 months ago.

Thanks ProDave for replying! Well, we don't have a huge amount of DIY skills but lots of enthusiasm! However we are time poor as we both work full time and have 2 small children with no family around so it's not ideal...however, like you say we can save on site facilities, cleaning & landscaping around the outside that's no problem. We have no issue putting in some hard work and learning some skills along the way. Honestly I'm not really sure what we were expecting to pay. We did a 28 msq single storey rear extension in our old house (in Surrey) which included knocking walls down, building stud walls and fitting windows & doors for 56k so I was just quite surprised at this quote and wondered if this is the level of quotes we should expect? We are new to the area and don't know anyone so it's hard to know Thanks again

Hi Everyone Sorry, I am new - hope it's ok to dive right in with questions! I am pretty sure I'll be on this site ALOT over the next few years. So we have bought a house (period, 1898 & needs full renovation eeeek) with an unfinished 2 bedroomed detached Annexe. It's about 3-4 meters away from the back of the house, it has been built and has a roof on it, all windows and doors are in and all the steel beams are in place. Approx 10m by 5.8m. We got our first quote back to finish it off, as below. I would love some opinions on this quote. We are in North Yorkshire. *Set up site with WC facilities and skip. *Install new drains. *Bring new services in from existing house. Water, gas and electric. *Insulate and screed floors. *Build stud walls to create new layouts. *1st fix plumbing for new bathroom, boiler and radiators. *1st fix electrics and joinery. * Insulate all areas as necessary. * Plaster board and skim * 2nd fix joinery. New skirting, architrave and doors. * Install new kitchen. Kitchen supplied by client. * 2nd fix plumbing. All sanitary ware supplied by client. *Supply and fit new Combi boiler. * Supply and fit 4 new radiators. * 2nd fix electrics. We have allowed for 1 consumer unit, 16 double sockets, 4 switchesand 18 LED spot lights. All detectors to be hard wired. *Supply and fit new uPVC fascia’s and guttering. * Make good to ground externally. * Clean down. * Remove all debris from site. £39, 660 + VAT £47, 592 Any thoughts on this would be great. Our plan is to move into this Annexe whilst we get the main house renovated, but really didn't think it would cost that much? Thank you for any help.
