In process of purchasing a 1970's 3 bed terrace, in need of modernisation. On the upper floor, is a flat roof dormer window. This collapsed in the storms and brought down the ceiling of the room below, creating a mess and dust throughout. Property therefore needs an overhaul, so looking at modernisation throughout. Would like advice on where to start, a list of typical ‘jobs’ I need to consider and most cost effective way of dealing with the problems. Any particular things I should be concerned about with water damage? Extra jobs vs a ‘normal’ refurbishment. As floor was saturated - is it likely that joists may need replacement given exposure to water? Or Electrics rewire? Im assuming potential for rewire, reskim etc.. Be grateful for advice for a refit, taking note of the water damage.
