Guide figures only. Older houses often hide surprises, so a visit and itemised quote are the only reliable way to price a renovation.
What affects the price
- Structural changes. Removing walls means steel beams and building control.
- Rewiring and heating. Often needed in older homes, and best done before plastering.
- Kitchens and bathrooms. Usually the biggest individual costs.
- The age and condition of the house. Damp, old plaster and uneven floors add work.
- Finishes. Flooring, joinery and decoration.
Budgeting tips
- Keep a contingency of around 10 to 15% for anything found once work starts.
- Decide on kitchens, bathrooms and flooring early, because lead times can be long.
- Do the messy work, such as rewiring and plastering, once, before the finishes go in.
