high level estimate for renovation

[scooters]

guys, very quick question regarding very high level costs of a property renovation. Reason being that I'm off to look at a property which needs updating and want to know ball park figures for required work. for info property is a 3 bed cottage circa 1800.

I'm assuming that the following will need doing:
electrics
plumbing
3 piece bathroom as well as shower cubicle

any idea what approx cost one would put against these for a high (read very) level understanding of value.

not much to go on i'm afraid

Everyone always guess at "£20,000" for these sorts of projects - I know cos I've watched Sarah Beenie's programmes

As you can guess they are always wrong.

I'm in the process of doing up a 1907 end terrace - luckily a family friend surveyor who owes me a favour did a full survey for me and reckons on £15000 - £20000 depending on what is found and I don't need new electrics or heating.

Just goes to show that even the experts ain't got a clue either!

Rewire estimate at about £2k

Boiler, complete with rads and associated pipework £3k

Bathroom suite, mid range complete with tiles approx £3k

£100 sq ft is a good rule of thumb for a complete renovation to a good standard......that includes new flooring decorating etc.

£3000 for a new central heating system sounds very cheap. Just getting a new boiler installed can cost half that easily.

Going for a low end boiler you can source all the materials (Boiler, Rads, Pipework) for under £1k. Top of the line Bosch can be had for £2k.

Just add labour at whatever the going rate is for your area.
