A bit vague this one but:

Looking to buy a new house that needs work. Seen one we like but needs extending. Basically a 2 story extension to side, garage, utility room and two beds above. Single extension to rear housing kitchen and dining room. Roughly similar too this:

But rear running full length of house.

just after a rough guide of what I should budget for.

Cheers

Ally

We were told that doing anything like this would cost way more than buying an equivalent sized house in the first place, so was a waste of time, particularly at the moment.

with the small amount of info i would suggest anything between 50 - 75K depending on what spec (number of bathrooms, new kitchen cost etc) and the extent of the externals (paving, paths, drives, drainage etc) and you will probably need a new boiler

maybe less if you can do any of it yourself

don't forget fees - architect, engineer, planning, building regs, vat

bear in mind what joemarshall said

Isnt there a rule of thumb like 2k per sqM? Not sure if its 2k or something else.
