Hello - doing a 1970s house refurb to bring it in to the 21st Century

Hello everyone,

 

Just introducing myself: I'm in the process of purchasing a house. It was built in the early 1970s and sorely needs upgrading. My aims are:

  • Get off gas and install an ASHP with underfloor heating with solar and battery storage.
  • Improve the insulation
  • Rewire the house
  • New glazing

 

It's a pretty substantial amount of work but hopefully we'll have somewhere nice to live afterwards.

 

Happy New Year

 

Adam.

Welcome! I assume those are not in priority order, but if they were intended to be I would switch 1 and 2 and fit in the current 3 and 4 around 1 and 2 (or 2 and 1!).

 

Sounds like a good blank canvas.

 

Will you be able to do all works while it is empty, or do you need to live there during works?

 

Are you planning EWI?

 

Edit: Just seen your thread re EWI. Cancel above Q!

Yep. In no particular order. Thankfully the house will be empty when we do most of the work.

 

I'm still at a very early stage. We've not completed yet but I'm trying to do as much research as I can to make sure I'm well informed when I start talking to builders, contractors etc.

 

Thanks for the reply 🙂
