Hello forum
I am new to the forum and would like to start with a question. My wife and I have been looking for a house for some time. We have now found a house that fits our location preferences very well. The living area (200m²) and the plot (1100m²) also appeal to us. The only catch: In my opinion, the house needs a complete renovation. The roof needs to be repaired (possibly just the tiles), the exterior facade might need to be newly insulated and plastered (??), the layout of the rooms inside the house must be redone because it is unusual today to have to go from one room to the next, which I find disadvantageous. Furthermore, I think the electrical system needs to be redone and, of course, finally the painting work. The windows seem to be in good condition.
I know you can't tell me exactly what price range this will be. Of course, that depends on whether I choose the best granite or if I settle for a laminate floor. Nevertheless, I would be interested in your experience, for example, which of the above-mentioned works are very costly?
What would you advise me? Of course, I first need a cost estimate to be able to say whether I can afford the renovation at all. Who do I need to bring in for this, an architect? I can’t buy the house and end up realizing I can’t afford the renovation. What would be the right way?
Thanks in advance
