Good evening,
we would like to buy an existing house, which we then want to comprehensively renovate / refurbish. Currently, we have one in mind. Built in 1976, 200m² living space, 560m² plot including a granny flat. Quiet but conveniently located.
Approximately:
House price: 400,000 euros
Budget for renovation: 200,000 euros
We were and still are often unsure during house viewings whether our budget will be enough to realize our dreams. I deliberately say dreams because we certainly will not be able to implement everything we wish for. Ultimately, advice on which work makes the most sense is the be-all and end-all.
Therefore, the question to you: How did you approach the house search?
Whenever it got more concrete, did you involve and pay an architect or a building surveyor? That can potentially become very expensive.
We ourselves are two computer scientists. Not stupid, but no experts in construction. ;-)
Thank you very much for any tips
