We moved into a 1928 property in november, we ripped out the decrepit kitchen and got it done two weeks before Christmas. We can do anything else on the house until the deceased father in laws house is sold (its complicated).
We have a lead water pipe, apparently your water company will replace free it if you dig the channel from the house to the road.
None of the windows had sealant around them, the flashings were made from tin, the electrics need doing, the garden is overgrown and I’m waging a war with ivy as we speak, the old chap hasn’t spent a bean on the place for years according to a neighbour. And it shows. A least the roof is ok and the flat roof on the extension is in good order.
Massive project coming up in about 18 months. I have just bought the DK DIY book.
