How Much Does It Cost To Refurbish A House 2024 | UK Property | Ste Hamilton

[@michaeltolhurst4825]

Been in building trade 18 years and refurb my own flips In Leeds, very good video and accurate pricing needs to seen by deal sourcers and estate agents who think a refurb costs 10k

[@tea.topzone]

Deal sources and estate agents know it's not 10K; they are only trying it on, just in case you haven't done your homework. I just nod and smile.

[@zachary3603]

Can you really get a new roof for 6k? I've renovated quite a few 3 beds and I can't seem to get it under 10.

[@h3steven]

@zachary3603 yep, you really can

[@zachary3603]

@@h3steven okay mate. I’m going to have every roofer within 20 miles to come quote until one comes up at 6k now I know it’s possible. I’m south east.

I was quoted 4k for a collapsed bedroom ceiling did it myself in 8 day's for under £900.00 .And said they'd take a deposit of £1500.00 and I'd go on a waiting list!

[@ricardosmythe2548]

A room?! Might as well do it yourself. You'll get it right eventually

[@robertmarland4696]

Currently doing a 2 bed terraced house. Full back to brick refurb. Studded out all external walls and ceilings. Insulated. Boarded. Skimmed. Full new retire. All new plumbing. New bathroom. New kitchen. Doors. Skirts etc. on target for around 25k but doing all the work myself so you can probably double that.

[@gishanidesilva7958]

I think you got fair quotes for the work. I have 4 bed flat. They quote me £17000 for the roof. That’s the cheapest I got. To get a new water line coat me £6500

[@ricardosmythe2548]

I had a new roof on a 2 bed semi 2 up 2 down 10 years ago for 2k 😂

[@kellybarber5118]

Why do you need plaster board on top of solid brick walls? Can a plasterer not plaster on top of brick? Doesn't plaster board make the walls even thicker than they need to be? I'm just curious.

[@walay-fitness8464]

do you have an expectation when you spend £50k what profit margin would you deem acceptable and worth while

Hi Ste do the prices include materials or just labour thanks 👍

[@hakimvlogs6579]

Both materials and labour

[@n72z66]

How big, or small is that kitchen....it must be a reasonable size for an island. 5K, with appliances, and fitted!!!! I had 3 quotes for kitchen units, tops and appliances, including Howards, and they were all very close. My point being, Howards wasn't any cheaper, so how you can get 5k, fitted with appliances is astonishing. Is it not based on getting massive trade discount??

[@totalprecisioncarpenter5922]

Think some figures being said are very generous at best

[@rtdnlcastro]

Kitchen costs a lot more, also bathroom, electricity and heating.

[@earealestate2961]

I appreciate the depth of research behind your points. It’s clear you’re speaking from experience, which adds a lot of credibility to the advice.

[@arturila]

Real costs outside London: Bathroom: £6k Full re-wire: £8k Boardig a ceiling: £1000 Skimming the walls and ceiling in one room: £1500 Kitchen and appliances: £10k-20k All-in, if you want to go back to brick, a 3 bed house will cost you at least £60k, and that's by finding the cheapest trades for each individual job.

[@Lucian86]

That surely not London prices.. assuming London is like 50% more ? Safe to assume that ?

I replaced a roof in Q3 of 2023 for 10k on a 1950s 3 bed detached. In Shropshire. Gutted!

[@Dufus57]

I’m in the process of buying a major doer upper. This was really helpful - most of all because your numbers pretty much tally with my estimations. Are these prices for Joe Public getting them done, or are they for a property developer who has tradespeople working for them? I’ve just subscribed to your channel. Thanks 🙏

[@Dufus57]

Can I ask - I’m due to do up an old house that I’m in the process of buying, to live in. The prices that you quote - are they the same as a ‘Joe Public’ would pay, or are they based on a developers price to do up (are they one and the same)? Thanks 👍

You can double them prices if you live in Surrey

[@bestwaypropertysolutions]

Unfortunately the prices in London and around are completely different. For a full strip out and refurb with new roof doors and windows, fully finished, full rewire, brand new central heating with new boiler etc, the cost cones at 85-92k okus VAT on 950 sqft property. But we included flooring and landscaping as well.

[@christinemurray1444]

London is a different story. The price of the finished house for a property this size in London is comfortably in the 7 digits so you can justify a lot of expense.

[@InnuendoXP]

​@@christinemurray1444 depends, in the outer boroughs house prices are way lower, but materials and labour are the same as the rest of the city.

Many thanks Ste for wonderful videos . It gives people better understanding the scale, cost and sequence of the renovation works. Just have you got any material regarding timeline of the work, same as the breakdown you have for the cost as well?

[@Ali-zz6yz]

Great video, only query is the chimney breast removal this would need scaffolding to get the stack and would cost alot more than 750

[@Steve_W27]

He’s talking about just removing the internal breast and supporting the remaining external stack with a steel within the loft space, probably.

[@arturila]

​​​@@Steve_W27that would cost at least £4k.

[@davidelliott3099]

Brilliant video, would be great for more detailed one... Windows & doors £7,500. How many windows are included in that?

[@jasonburden7999]

I think he said 7-8 windows for that property

[@DodiPage]

Hate ceiling spotlights. And plastic- looking doors and windows. And laminate floors. The doors are real quality and could be oak. The existing joinery is also good. So all character and architectural features will be ripped out! Ouch 😣 Then new owners can put them back in.

[@Michael-D182]

Your rip out will be more like 6k. I just done a 5 bed bungalow it took 2 weeks back to brick. My wage 1600 for two weeks. My mates wage 1400 for two weeks. 3 labourers 100 a day is 3000 for two weeks. This doesn't include 14 skips

[@h3steven]

Never in a million years would I pay £6000 for a Stripout 🤣

@@h3steven thats good if you can get it cheaper but does that mean you have kids on site knocking lintels around, and leaving the place a wreck. Ours is ready for stud, not a scrap of plaster to be seen

[@FelineFurKin]

14 skips, wow, we’ll cover the planet in old house parts soon enough

[@holyfoly]

Again I’m not sure I believe these figures. £2500 for decoration. We paid double that including our time plus 2 painters plus paint

[@Burning_desire22]

Why would you do a strip out it surely adds no value of the walls look good? Im just learning avout refurb hence may appear a bit silly

[@TRUCKSAJ]

Sometimes the walls in older homes are in a bad condition such as crumbling or having large cracks and/or previous damp issues. It can be easier and more cost effective down the line to strip back to brick. Also when selling a property buyers care a lot about walls "looking good" as ugly walls can be a sign of major underlying structural damage which will prevent the house from selling for max profit

Sounds too cheap tbh. Maybe due to regional price differences.

Cost in unit of thousand: Strip out: 2 + 3.5 (Reconfiguration / remove walls & install walls) (chimney breast removal: 0.75 each, need structural engineer) full re-wire: 4.5 Central Heating / boiler and radiators: 4.5 Plastering: 5 / 7 carpentry / replacing skirting board & architrave & doors: 4.2 bathroom (supply&fit without tiling): 3.5 kitchen (hob&oven&fan&fridge supply&fit): 5 flooring (supply&fit): £40 per sqm decorating / painting: 2.5 windows & external doors replacement: 8 roofing: 5 (rendering: £90 per sqm) (landscaping)

[@sallypowers1131]

I would say 4.5k for a straight rewire, down lights through out house are time consuming and eat into labour time.

5k to replace a roof??? when was that priced and is that tiling only? I replaced mine in London including scaffold, felt, battens, internal boarding, 2 rooflights, loft hatch and ladder and new tiles and it cost me close to 25k.
