My better half and I are considering doing a major refurb to a house we dont currently live in with a view to making it our family home, so I was hoping to get some experiences from you guys. We are looking to:

> Turn the garage into a livable room as there is ample drive space for parking.

> Build on top of the garage to extend the upstairs of the property

> Build a good size conservatory onto the back of the house

> Knock down and re-jig quite a few walls inside to make the house open plan in the scandinavian style

> New Kitchen, bathroom, and complete redecoration

I've been watching homes under the hammer to get some idea of costs and time, but what do you think? I cant really get any face to face quotes at the moment because of working abroad.

Oh well as far as I know the insulation was been done a couple of years back and we have a new boiler in there.

Has anyone done this tpye of work recently?

I was thinking a budget of around 30000 for the garage and upstairs extension, 12-15K for a good conservatory and 20K for wall work, floors and decorations...
 
Ta for the advice justintime - The job we are planning would seem similar to the one you just did. Can I ask how long the project took? Did you do any of the work yourself? And any unexpected costs you came accross? Also does my budget of

30000 for the garage and upstairs extension, 12-15K for a good conservatory and 20K for wall work, floors and decorations

seem in the right kindof ballpark?
