Basic cost of renovating an old house in Dublin

Candlestick1

Hi,

I want to bid on a house but need to know what it will cost me to refurbish afterwards. It's a basic, three-bed 1950's house with garage which has had no love for decades. I reckon at least it will need rewiring, windows, plaster to ceilings upstairs, insulation, new bathroom, kitchen, etc ...

Ideally, I would like to convert the garage and open up the back with sliding doors and demolish the wall between kitchen and dining also.

Would anyone have an idea what something like this would cost please or where I could find out?

What floor area?

I would be budgeting in/around E 1,500 to E 2,000 per m.sq. for that sort of refurb.

Naturally if you did less the cost is a lot less. Retrofitting sliding doors adds a lot.

Hi, friend bought a house recently. It had already been started as a refurbishment, rewired and new plumbing and sanitary ware. They are building a small extension, moving a couple of internal walls and the price quoted is €250k. This does not include new windows or kitchen.
