DP and I are house hunting at the moment and haven't found quite what we're looking for. All of the houses on our shortlist would need something doing to them (an extension on one, knocking down a wall on another, converting garage to a study in the next...)
We know nothing about building or builders, and can't even guess at how much this might cost or how long it might take.
Would builders be happy to come with you to a house viewing to quote on work for a house you don't own? If so, how would you go about getting someone to come and have a look? Would you expect to pay for their time?
Alternatively, is there any other way of gauging how much a job might cost? A particular website or anything?
As you can tell, I'm clueless...!
Thank you!
