Renovation costs

[RenovateH]

I'm planning to renovate a 3 bedroom Victorian terraced house and am a complete novice! I'm currently working out what it will involve and what the costs will be. I've made a rough list of approximate cost factors below. I know there will be some extra costs that will come up as we go along and have factored this in but I just wanted to know if this is the bulk of it or if there is anything else I need to think about?

 

• One storey extension for kitchen - £18,000

• A new heating system - £5,650 - £6,900

• House rewire - £5,000

• New windows - £3-5,000

• Downstairs toilet - it’s only small and just needs replacing for now - £1000?

• New bathroom - £4,000

• New kitchen - £8,000

• Flooring - budget of £2,000

• No problems with the roof as far as I’m aware!

Welcome.

 

No mention of improving the insulation levels and airtightness.

 

I have had 2 Victorian terraces and one Victorian semi.

All horrible to work on and all built differently.  Like QE2 V lived a long time.

How much physical renovation has already been done?

 

I’d expect a lot of insulating and re-plastering in a property that old. Plus lots of fixing of things before the more cosmetic details get addressed.

I think you might need to allow more for the extension, particularly the foundations.

Top of you estimates is £50k there. 

 

It seems pretty tight TBH.
