Would that £1379 sq m cost perchance include the cost of land?

Likely not, seek a local builder & ask for some elemental cost prices for actual works in the area.

Wots the worse they can do ?

1. How do we fix it?

Pay someone who knows what they are doing

2. We need to re-roof the front of the house. You interested?

Question #2

In most t'internet build forums developers say 1/3 for the land, 1/3 for development & 1/3 for profit as a rough guide

I'm looking at 6 luxury flats 120 sq m - & similar in the area sell for £250k -but all build costs for flats propose a build cost of £1379 sq m which would give a sale price of £1.5 mil but construction costs of £992k leaving bugger all profit after infrastructure, utilities, finance, marketing etc costs are taken out

Would that £1379 sq m cost perchance include the cost of land?

[WTFH]

Any pics?

Of what? AndyW's Mum?




No, not of the leaks. Will be up emptying buckets tonight so can take some then.

Chimneys leaking badly.

"New" flashing is above the roof - put in about 40 years ago when a flat roof was put between two pitches, but the original flashing (probably from the 1850s) is inside the attic. When it rains hard and the wind is blowing from the south east, the water gets in, runs down and comes out in the attic at the original flashing.


1. How do we fix it?
2. We need to re-roof the front of the house. You interested? (conservation area, but not listed)

How about making the registration on the site slightly different with a few extra questions...
1. What is your company/umbrellas's name?
2. What is your accountant's name?
3. What is your accountant's phone number?
4. Who do you work for?

5. Do you like films about gladiators?

[PurpleGorilla]

To Answer the OPs question.

No, but anticipate no prisoners!
