My wife and I are selling our home in the UK and returning to Westmeath to be closer to her mother. We are selling our home in the UK and buying a house in the Athlone area.
Unfortunately, there is not a huge amount of stock available. Neither of us drive which restricts us as well. I have been looking at some houses in central Athlone that would be quite a bit under our budget but in need to some pretty serious refurbishment. While I have an idea of costs in the UK, I have no idea of costs in somewhere like Athlone.
Can anyone give me any advice on ballpark figures for the following :
1) Total refurbishment of a house of roughly 100sqM
2) Rewiring said house
3) New kitchen and bathroom costs
4) Costs of redecorating to include painting, plastering and remedial work on areas of damage.
I know I am asking a lot but I am really just trying to figure out if we should even consider these sort of properties.
