Oh I can see how it could be easy to get lost in here...
I'm newbie Tammi in Perth. Husband and I have just bought a character home in Perth that is in need of a LOT of TLC (deceased estate). We aren't moving terribly far from our current house: across the street and up 5 doors . What can I say, I like the neighbourhood.
I am trying very hard not to get excited by the prospect of renovations because I understand they are often tiresome at best, but I can't help it! We would like to push the original 1 bath, two bed+sleepout single-storey to a 4 bed, 2 bath, plus study/kids rumpus double storey to get city glimpses, but I'm unsure about the costs of going up. We have one neighbour who said their upward reno is currently at council and her architect quoted $165K which seemed overly cheap to me. Another friend said their's would have been closer to $500K if they hadn't been owner/builder. Sheesh!
I guess I'll just have to wait and see.
