Hey Guys,

I'm looking at a major reno on  a one bedroom unit. I'm just wondering if anyone has done anything like this and some idea's on pricing and timelines?

I'm thinkin this place will need to be gutted, new plaster, floor coverings, kitchen and bathroom and lighting.
I will do painting and other odd's and ends. Is there any thing else i should look out for?
Has any one got any idea of pricing for these things and also timing?
Any examples would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Haydn

PS. it's a state trustee sale and it's 12kms from melb cbd so i should be able to pick it up pretty cheap.

Hi there. Posting a bit late, but really related to this thread.
We also did renos on a 1 bedroom unit in Melbourne.
When we bought it, it was similar to yours
We did the following:
– Replaced the Kitchen with Flatpak Kitchen
– Replaced carpet with floating floorboards
– Replaced vanity in bathroom
– Re-Tiled the bathroom
– Complete Paint Job in all rooms.

We did most of the work ourselves with the assistance of a burley friend. It was a nightmare and I for one am never doing it again.
But in the end the house wuz revalued much higher than purchase price so well worth it.

Any updates on this?
