Hi,
so me and my partner are wanting to renovate a 3 bedroom semi detached house that i've inherited....it requires a LOT of work & i need some advice basically. Problem is,i have little idea of where to start (ive done some basics), i dont have enough contacts, experience, knowledge.. The house does have lots of potential though, estate agents have said it wouldnt be that hard to do up. I do want to sell it in the end though.
So where would i start ?
The basics i got done, i hired local builders to do each job seperately..which didnt turn out brilliantly in terms of efficency or cost.
Ive got some helpful tips from a few people & they say to just hire a proper company that will do it all....agree a fee with them...& an end date....say you'll pay them part upfront...part at the end when its finished. What kind of companys do this, who should i be looking for ? Is this the job of a contractor or is that something else ?
I've already had estate agents in & in its current condition they say its worth about 140,000. This is without a decent bathroom, kitchen, a working boiler, breaking plaster on the walls....new carpets needed, new patio doors...windows need double glazing etc etc. Lots to do.
Checked on Nethouseprices & houseprices & the local houses in my area have been going for around £175,000 in 2006-2007 which was as recent as i could find apart from one on a road off mine which went for £185,000 in 2008. My house has also been extended though, so it may be worth more when finished..
Anyway. So am i on the right track ? Any advice?
Please help.
Thanks!
I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
