Hi All

I’m looking to purchase a 2 bedroom 840 sft condo in Penang. It’s about about 30 years old

I plan to buy movable furnitures/ ikea

I only intend to do the following

Change tiles for 2 bedrooms

Completely redo bathroom in a basic way( redo tiles, change sink, shower area, remove bathtub x 2 bathrooms

Redo bathroom ceilings to plaster x2

Install new kitchen cabinet/ hood and hob

Paint the whole house

Only looking at basic type of fittings, nothing fancy

How much would I be expected to pay and how long will the renovation take?

Thanks

For bathroom estimate costing ....

https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...668&hl=Bathroom

If budget permits, I suggest the following .....

1. Retile the entire flooring
2. Rewiring
3. Replace water piping
4. If wooden window and door frames, have it replace.

I guess 40-50k with basic fully furnish, if u have time to survey and manage each contractor + hunt cheap furniture/home appliances then might close to 40k.
