House costs

12farnham

I am looking to purchase an unfinished house that needs new heating system (want oil), floors for sitting room, kitchen, hall. New fireplace and new kitchen. Has anybody any idea house much i would roughly need. I know its hard to price but an average would be great. My hubby is fairly handy. Hes a builder and an electrician so would be able to do a bit himself.

Pure guess without a schedule of works/BoQ prepared.
Speak to 3 local contractors and give them the same list each to compare prices.

The issues here are many:

Heating system? does that mean you need to install pipes? if yes then all the walls, floors and ceilings may have to be damaged to install or are you just talking about the heat source (ie boiler)?

Floors will depend solely on what material you choose. Timber (solid, semi solid, laminate), Tile (ceramic, porcelain, stone etc) etc

Fireplace - how long is a piece of string. Anything from €700 to €7000

Kitchen - how long is a piece of string. Anything from €5000 to €80,000

What about electrics, plastering, painting etc as I'd assume these are also not done.

Is your hubby Safe Electric registered? If not he can't do the electric work (by himself).
