How Much Money We’ve Spent On a UK House Extension, So Far

Thanks to TubeBuddy for sponsoring this video.

How much does a UK Renovation typically cost? So far we've spent a lot of money on architects, planning, building regulations and structural engineers to get ready to start putting spades in the ground and building and renovating the house.

Thanks Matt, would love to see more costings and planning viedos. I'm around the same age as yourself. My partner and I are looking at our options. Right now we are thinking cheaper property but with a garage on the side that allows a 2 floor extension which we are doing our own research on now. All this is very insightful and helpful.

Nice one Matt. I've renovated twice/self built once and estimated £15k before you gave the figure. All sounds great so far. I had a drain survey quote of over £1k recently - Dorset prices! I'm looking forward to watching your progress as I plan my next project. 😊

I am doing something similar but got Thames water out to resolve a problem with their drains and recorded the survey for free.

Very nicely explained everything. Thank you Matt

Very good video and information, thanks a lot!

Wow, and to think that I had to pay about $15, 000 for just the installation of an HVAC and a water heater in Phoenix. I should move to the U.K.!!!

Glad to see you post again! I've recently bought a house which has a Public Foul Sewer situated within the boundary of the property - would this cause any issues in the future regarding a possible side & rear extension?

[jimdavies]

How much is that as a percentage of the overall project cost? That would determine whether its expensive or not. And does that compare to other projects you've completed?

[destro]

Out of curiosity and for context, how much did the house itself cost?

[maxelbrig]

Would you recommend an extension or deposit for another property?

Hi Matt, thanks for this video. Out of interest, did you learn about this list of things you needed to do/have as you went along in your journey, or was some of it presented to you by the architect or builders? I'm keen to learn how you learnt about it all because it seems like an overwhelming list. Thank you :)

I concur that the stock market offers a compelling opportunity for generating passive income. I've come across numerous investors who were raking in over $40, 000 per month from their stock market investments. I'm eager to enter the market myself, but I'm proceeding with caution to avoid any missteps. Are there any low-risk options available?
