[QUOTE="possumbility, post: 8175308, member: 5160"] My pair of cottages were in dire need of improvement, not been touched since the sixty's, but had happy tenants and no empty period to do anything, so electrics were essential, floor was an inch of cracking asphalt over quarry tiles on clay, heating was back boiler behind open fire, so took the opportunity of a break in tenancy and took it back to bare brick and rafters, insulated all walls internally, dug out floor insulated and concrete slab, new windows and doors, added conservatory, insulated loft, removed chimney and breasts gaining 5m2 of floor space added conservatory, new electrics oil fired condensing boiler and new radiators, lathed and p[asterboard all walls, plastered, painted, new carpets, new kitchen, upgraded water pipe from 15mm to32mm and outside new patio and a bit of landscaping. valuation before renovation 125k after 180k. The 30k I spent didnt include my own labour roughly 15k at at minimum wage. So can't really blame letting rules, but well pee'd off that they moved the goalposts from E to C. during lockdown I did the same in my other cottage sadly having to say goodbye to a very good 16yr tenant.
