Dear Homeowner,

Just bought an old 3 storey corner terrace.

Plan to do the following:-

1) Change roof

2) Change sewerage

3) Change Electrical

4) Add Attic

5) Chang Staircase

Would a 400k Budget be reasonable?

Anything else that you recommend we should do for a 25 yrs old house.

Sharing of your past home journey experienced would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Best regards,

 

Are you getting an architect to do the A&A design work for you? If so, the costs will be higher. Depending on your situation and budget, it is often better to tear down the house and to create a new one from scratch.

 

Thank you KFC1189 for your input.

No plan for architect as we are sure how we would like our budget home to look like. Unfortunately can't afford a tear down and create new.

Any affordable builder to recommend ? ..... You think I would need an ID.

Is doing an "ala-carte' route recommended ? Hunt for specialist incarpentery, toilet/bathroom etc to save cost.

best regards

Nice ☺

You just need to get a good contractor, especially those with builders licences, they will be able to help you with

Cheap quantity surveyor, architectural design, structural engineer or electrical engineer if you need to upgrade  3 phase power supply.

I think you also need professional engineer to sign your AA. You also might need to instal water pump.

You should read some blog post here. It may help you.
