Hi all, I've skimmed through all the existing threads, but I don't really feel that much wiser. I've looked at an old 2 bed ex-corporation house that currently has no heating and god knows how old the wiring is. So I'm asking myself, do I really want to buy this... Anyways, I'd definitely go with gas fired heating and if possible a combi-boiler as they are dead handy, had one in rented accommodation and loved it. So if this water pressure stuff (would have to check) is sufficient, would defo go with that. I'd also try and do as much as I can myself to keep cost low, like taking up floorbords and opening the walls where the old cables are so the profs can come in and get straight onto the work. What else could I do to save? I would't want to attempt to do the wiring myself, way too scared of electricity.
So bearing in mind that I'm not afraid of hard labour (and there's two of us) how much would I have to fork out? Could it be done with 10K for both GFCH and rewiring?
Thanks for all the help, it's very much appreciated. Oh yeah, and if anyone would like to recommend reliable tradesmen and quotes they've received, please PM me.
