Hi,
I am looking at putting an offer on a second hand home and I am trying to put a price on the cost for upgrading the house to a decent level. I know this is very general and some of this info is contained on various treads on the site but could anyone give an estimate for getting any or all of the following done:
Current house details: 1960's semi-D, single block walls, single glazed windows, original heating system/gas boiler.
What I am trying to price is:
1) to internally insulate the house. I've seen some treads about price/m2 for the insulation but I am looking for a ball park cost (materials and fitting) to do a 1200sqft semi-D. Even if not exactly accurate as I obvioulsy need total wall area but would we be talking 10k or 50k? To the current building regs (U value - 0.27 or slighlty better). Has anyone upgraded something similar like this and what did it set you back?
2) replace the boiler with high efficiency boiler and based on age, I pressume all pipe work too
3) good heating controls
4) Eight 2m x 1.5m A-rated double glazed windows.
I know this is vague but I've rang some places for all the above and they wont quote til they see the house and I'm looking for a ball park fiugre like 50k or whatever so I can put a reasonable offer and not get nailed when I buy. Any help on any of these would be really appreciated!
