Hi I'm in need of mumsnet wisdom
We've been looking for a house for about 5 months we've found a few but have been out bid on 2 and we pulled out one as area wasn't for us.
We have finally found a house we like in the right area next to the school we want to send dd to turned up at the open viewing yesterday to find lot more people there than I would of liked! It's going to best offer in by end of day tomorrow.
We don't have a lot of money and it needs a full renovation:
Double glazing
Boiler
Load bearing wall knocked down + rsj
kitchen
Bathroom
flooring
plastering (maybe) friends dad with do this cheaply for us
Some electrics more sockets added
Plumming (maybe)
Decorating
We are happy to do a lot our selves and I have a good handy man who charges about £100 a day. I'm happy with an ikea kitchen with less units and some open shelfs and we will probably but it on finance same with the bathroom.
Could we do all of above for 18k or am I being ridiculous?
Thanks for reading!
