I am buying a house which needs completely re-doing. It's a large 7 bed house, 5 reception rooms, 4 bathrooms. Building is great but the inside needs ripping out and new putting in. I've had a quote off a builder and I want to know if it's any good or am I being ripped off?
It's having a small stair case put in, needs re-plastering downstairs but not up. Kitchen is coming out and all carpets coming out, tiles in kitchen is coming up and new going down. Guttering needs re-doing. The quote includes doing this and labour for installing new bathrooms and kitchens but we shall buy the units ourselves so that isn't in the quote. One of the ensuites is coming out and being turned into a walk in wardbrobe, and a small chimnley is coming out of a bedroom and being filled in. Getting the old doors sanded down and re-painted. Getting a handful of windows replaced (just the double glazing) and having a door taken out and a window put in. And adding patio doors. Getting two new boilers and all new radiators. Think that covers everything.
Anyway, I've been quoted £87,000 for this work. Does this sound about right? I know it's hard to tell without seeing the place and the work that's required but hoping to get an idea of whether to get a quote from someone else or whether this guy is legit.
Many thanks!
