Hi All,
I’m looking to buy a 2 bed 2 bath townhouse say 70squares.
I would be looking to re-do both bathrooms (toilets, showers tiles), kitchen (cupboards, stove etc), replace the floors with carpet in the bedrooms and floating floors for the rest and probably a coat of paint all over.
Is there anyone out there who has done a reno similar to this in the past and have an idea of a ball park figure of costs?
I’d be doing the paining/tiling/carpeting/kitchen (if possible) myself and would want to do it prior to settlement (fingers crossed)
if the option presents itself…I’d appreciate anyones input
Thanks in advance
I cant give you any overall figures because i havn't done it, but some good websites i have come across which may assist you to form a budget are:
http://www.renovi.com.au/ – online appliances
http://www.assembly.com.au/Default.aspx?ID=1 – IKEA installers
http://www.diykitchen.com.au/Kitchen%20Floor%20Units.htm – DIY Kitchens wiht price quotes
http://www.kitezi.com.au/ – kit kitchens
http://www.kitkitchens.com.au/gallery – kit kitchens factory direct
http://www.beaconshop.com.au/ – lightingHope that helps! There is also a section on this forum called 'Value Adding' that might have some answers too.
Most people seem to budget between 5% and 10% of the purchase price on these types of renovations. If you are looking at much more or less your fixtures may be to cheap/expensive for the property that you are renovating
Thanks Dtrump those sites are great! and spoonicus that budgets put me right where I need to be – much appreciated.
