over night ive decided im going to phone my provider when the time comes in march – explain the situation – we wont be the first to buy an old house and do it up.
sounds like you did the right things at least – got a mate doing this just now and hes more or less tickling the aesthetics to give it a modern look without improving the fabric – but thinks its adding value.
tbh my opinion is alot of what i did wont add value but will make it more salable – who wants a house with broken heating and needing rewired (if you have to pay full whack for contractors) but ill happily take my chances paying a couple hundred quid for the posibility of getting down to a 70% LTV and half the interest rate based on the inflation of aberdeen prices in the time ive bought alone without considering improvements….
