Hi,
We just got quoted 100,000 to retrofit our house. We would get a 20,000 grant. This would include a heat pump, attic and external insulation, new windows and doors and a new warm roof on a flat roof extension. We had expected the cost to be high but this higher than we expected! Just wondering if anyone has gone one stop shop, can you send the the assessment from one company to the others to shop around? We paid 500 to one company for the assessment and that is their quote.
Also wondering if that seems reasonable? House is a 1930s mid terrace with suspended floor and 2 story extension to the rear.
Not sure if my shock at the price is just misplaced. We are first time home owners but plan to be here for the long haul. We're 2 years into a 20 year mortgage and have 15,000 savings. Not sure if we should go ahead if it costs that much as we would have to get a green loan or if we should chip away at doing bits ourselves?
Any advice greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
