How Much Does an Extension Cost in 2024
Просмотров 79411 месяцев назад
I run through all the construction costs of my Extension in London. I bought this property as a lower ground floor flat (the front and rear are open, but below ground level) so we needed to excavate and reduce the levels of the back garden making this project a bit more expensive that you would typically find. I went a little overboard with the features - underfloor heating, speakers in the cei...

They Said Don't Buy This house
Просмотров 928Год назад
I take on my first renovation project - in South London I bought a 1 bedroom flat and turned it into a two-bedroom flat. I now use it as a buy-to-let. There wasn't much DIY on the project, but I did project manage it myself. I give the kitchen and bathroom a serious make-over, add an extension, and remove pretty much everything existing inside the house.
How Much Does a Loft Conversion Cost in 2024
Просмотров 45 тыс.Год назад
I run through all the construction costs of my loft conversion in London. This wasn't exactly a DIY project, more like homes under the hammer where I bought the property under auction conditions and refurbished it, adding hundreds of thousands in value. I end up renting it out as a buy-to-let but this video should give you an indication of how much it would cost to do a similar project yourself.

I buy a run down house in london and turn into a beautiful buy to let property. It's a bit like Homes under the Hammer. *About me* 👱: I have been in the construction industry for about 15 years now in various capacities - starting as a labourer building house extensions, I'm now the commercial manager of projects in excess of £60m. I now find myself once again a labourer doing extensions, but n...

    Hi Charlie! Thanks for your videos! Really helpful. I’m around 3 weeks from completing on a top floor flat and I hope to get planning to do an attic conversion. Should be able to increase internal area from 56m2 to c. 80 m2. In Clapham, where price is above £9,000/m2, should hopefully pay off!
