Hi folks,
I really would appreciate some comments on 2 kitchen extension problems I have.
Background: Bought house with hideous extension that had a retention order on it. Who ever agreed to its retention should have been fired….long story. I doubt that it will last another winter.
Problem no. 1: The house is mid-terraced & looks like the party wall was used in its construction. Given that the build was legal when I bought it, can I use the same dimensions again? Can I knock the wall down & build it again properly?
Problem no 2 – Costs: I was quoted 120K for knocking down & rebuilding! This is a 16 x 10 foot extension, tiled roof, 2 velux windows, 1 regular window, 1 door. Homebase / Panelling centre kitchen units. Nothing fancy. One relative is a plumber, a neighbour is a brickie, a relative can get an electrician, need to find a roofer, I’ll be filling skips etc etc. Is it possible to do this type of job for 30 – 35K?
Any comments appreciated.
