Refurbishment Costs Ireland

[@shaneflemingre]

What are your experiences with refurbishments?

[@misimeon]

Great information but I tried listening to this at 1.25 speed and it's a game changer.

[@rafaelbezerra8048]

That is EXACTLY the kind of info I was looking forward as a first-time buyer. It defo gave me a better idea and a starting point to organise and manage my expectations. Thanks a million

[@shaneflemingre]

Glad it was helpful

[@jacknolan312]

Can you do an update on this one for 2024 please?

[@mohanankur]

So helpful, subscribed. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge

[@shaneflemingre]

Glad you found it useful

Excellent video. I believe prices per square metre could be lower when outside of Dublin and if the person can project manage and source their own trades but its good to see solid figures like these to go off when looking for a home or investment. Love your work.

[@shaneflemingre]

Thanks for the feedback Patrick, Yes I agree if you can project manage a lot of the work you can make big savings.

I notice you dont mention any wall, floor insulation costs, I recently went through a renovation very similar to what you mentioned, and having all external walls insulated with 100mm boards plus floors and attic floors, were a added cost factor and I would have thought mandatory in most older house renovations. 350,000 sounds about right for the project you mentioned. Great post as always, keep up the good work👍👌

[@shaneflemingre]

Thanks for the feedback,

[@twitandoka]

Wow, it's way more expensive that I thought 😱 kinda put in perspective new homes prices to not go through all this process.. But it was rly helpful as always, thank you for your videos 😊

[@shaneflemingre]

Glad you found this useful.

[@leonienolan511]

Great channel , glad I found it , can you do one on getting architect, I'm finding it impossible

[@shaneflemingre]

Thanks for the feedback. God I am having issue on the same front at the moment. I have worked with loads in the past but at the moment it is really hard to get one

[@bobbyp.8110]

Yep I guessed around 250k for the Reno.. problems on price trending up from the original quote is variations or changes to the plan, experienced a few instances where I paid a lot more than quoted but they didn’t tell me adjustments along the way would cost more every time we changed something - rookie pitfall perhaps. Great vid, helpful as always. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@shaneflemingre]

Yes this can happen a lot, it is important to manage the project and stay on top of all the work. You can value engineer some savings if you are involved all the way.

[@Anrirua]

Eye opening video. Love your content and delivery style so thanks very much. Does anyone import trades from UK? Seems extraordinary, the gap in prices between what you see quoted in UK (the usual suspects, Homes Under the Hammer etc) no matter year you take. Rates tracked down when prices tanked. But never here. Why?

[@dmanntube]

The current cost of renovation in Ireland is absolutely insane. I was recently quoted 20K for a small bathroom (5sqm) refurbishment

[@shaneflemingre]

I know it is crazy

[@derekdempsey8506]

Shop around that's an awful lot

[@WizardOfTheKremlin]

Hi, I'm a tenant with DCC. Our house was built in 1960s and never upgraded. I was wondering if any grants are available for people housed by the council?

[@shaneflemingre]

There are lots of grants available. I am just not sure what one might be available for your situation. I am sure dcc would answer you quickly. I find they respond to emails quickly

[@WizardOfTheKremlin]

@@shaneflemingre Thanks Shane. I'll email them and ask. Nice one

[@leonienolan511]

At those prices it would be cheeper to buy a new house in my area then to fix up my present property 😔

[@shaneflemingre]

That is the sad case in a lot of areas hence why there is so many derelict houses

[@DerekTJ]

Bought Dublin house in Oct ('49 semi) and have done some stuff(rewire, heating) with view to extend, but we're stuck as of who to turn to next. We think we now need a whole house approach.

[@shaneflemingre]

Hey Aiyic If you are looking at an extension would always recommended speaking to an architect. While it unlike you with take much value from your house by a bad extension. You can add a lot of value with a good extension

[@DerekTJ]

@@shaneflemingre Thanks for your reply, good advice.

[@maskshirt-hiddenfacemaskso2440]

Comment to please the youtube gods. We need more views on this awesome content!

[@shaneflemingre]

🙏🙏🙏😂 thanks a mil

[@ciarak2714]

Hi Shane, just wondering if your quotes were taking into account the 35% grant for retrofitting aspects of older houses?

[@shaneflemingre]

It is a good point Ciara. Tax is something I try to stay away from in these videos as tax and grants can be so personal to one person or a house. Some of the grants are based on income tax etc. But most architects should help with the grants when designing the project.

[@emmasharkey8817]

Any idea how much it would be to get an electric meter put in a cottage?

[@shaneflemingre]

Sorry Emma not my area of focus.

[@valentinac2855]

Great insight! Would not complain if you would go into more details or even a real example🙃

[@leonienolan511]

Jeez my house costs five and a half thousand to be rewired ,, were are you getting Fifteen thousand from that's crazy !

[@shaneflemingre]

Dublin prices for average home with new boards and fittings

[@Garretflower]

Very informative video Shane, keep them coming. 🙌

[@shaneflemingre]

Thanks Garret

[@leonienolan511]

Have you link for houses to restore Ireland are they on you tube ?

[@shaneflemingre]

House to restore ireland are on Instagram not youtube

[@delatroy]

350... I’m guessing most people don’t think too hard about refurb vs build new

[@shaneflemingre]

It depends on the area

[@samfish6938]

150,000 to 250,000 Add about 5 % for inflation try buy your materials from UK Half the Irish cost
