Hi I would like to get some advice. I just got a sub-sale old condo unit, about 20-30 years old. I would like to know if this is the correct flow to go about it.

1. Check electrical and plumbing wear & tear / safety
2. Replace wiring, lights, pipes if needed
3. Remove flooring
4. Do paint work and floors/tiling
5. Redo kitchen
6. Redo bathroom
7. Add furnitures and move in


Did I simplified it too much? Do let me know if I missed out anything important and if any of the orders should be rearranged.

Thank you!

Don't forget, very important to find out reno procedure and permitted work time from the condo management.

Cant advise you on the flow since not enough info. But one thing i learnt over the years is always owe the contractor money rather than let them owe you work. Even for so called "friend", "relative" con/sub-con.

For such old unit, better to just replace all internal wiring and piping. Don’t even need to check. It will be a lot of pain later and might be even more cost as well. Any aesthic can be secondary.
