We're looking at a completely level block if that helps? Re: What will a 300k budget for a house get us? 5Feb 09, 2012 4:19 pm Im assuming house only does not include land, i think for that price you will have lots of options available. Most display homes will give you a price for the basic and a price "as displayed". Our base price was $145 i think and finished price was $304 which includes ac and carpet - we still need to add tiles, curtains, fence and garden.

We r building a 30sq single storey house with lots of luxury upgrades like 40mm Caesar stones throughout, 600x600 or 600x300 porcelain tiles in non-carpet areas, back to wall toilets, feature tiles in bathrooms etc and we are paying $260k. We will have to do exposed aggregate driveway, 1meter path around the house, agi drains, basic landscaping, fencing that would probably set us back another $20k or more. Then there is windows coverings, fly screen security screens etc, more lightings upgrades, that's probably another good $20k or so. All up approx 300k.

Can you elaborate a little? Coming back to your old stomping grounds, huh? Renovations on a budget can be quite the journey. It's like giving your house a new lease on life. The twist of not knowing… 1 3482 Depends how much direct sun it gets. Is there any shading (eaves or trees)? If the sun hits a window directly it doesn't matter too much if it's double or single… 1 12671 9 24814 |
