I found this video after looking at buying a house which needs a lot of renovation. It has a large extension at the back but seems to be of wooden construction which is now completely rotten. This gives a good idea of rough price and time scales.
Fantastic video Tom, very interesting to see the breakdown of a house extension like this! Keen to see how close you get to your budget prediction, looking forward to episode 2! As David has said, great video production also! 😉
@@ThatFinanceShow - hi, please could you let me know the length of your kitchen, from the utility room door to the bifolds please, as well as the width. We’re about to start an extension similar layout to yours, but just wanted to compare the dimensions as we may adjust the layout further. Thanks.
Good luck! Went through this a year ago! Excel sheets with tabs for each trade etc etc. Stayed in budget. Yours looks pretty achievable depending on how lavish you go on the kitchen. Had the odd “bump” along the way. Make sure you get it exactly how you want it. Very costly to change afterwards.
Good luck!! Extra space is always welcome. Looking forward to seeing how it all works out. Also really interesting to see the financing side - managing the costs of extension projects is one of the biggest challenges.
I've done pretty much everything myself so far, currently up to finished floor level for under 5k currently. My expected budget is 25k for complete rear extension which is 3m out and 6.8m across. For a budget of 70k id expect the roof to be gold plated!.
Thanks for being so transparent and sharing your costs and details. Really helpful stuff and you kept your videos informative and succinct which I think Ir rare! We are about to do ours and have opted to project manage and get trades in individually as the quotes we are getting in London are insane!
Neil! Where’ve you been, this video has been up for 90 minutes and you’ve only just commented 😉. Thanks mate, glad to hear it’s interesting. Yeah…it’s some serious cash for sure!
Fantastic end result & simply explaining the breakdown in each stage was truly beneficial, you now truly have a stunning family home to be so proud off, can you update us on a video as to just how much your property is now valued since work has finally been completed & the dust has settled, adore the folding doors, absolutely faultless in the designer & the amount of natural light that floods in, you’ve now a new subscriber in me, keep up the fantastic crystal clear videos 10/10⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Looking forward to the next episode... I wonder if it will be like one of them building programs where they start with a budget of £23k and it ends up costing £63k!
Hahahaha! God, nothing more annoying is there. ‘We just magicked another 35k out of the wife’s arse to finish it’. Give me strength. Good to hear from you Nick 👊🏻
I’ve been enjoying this house extensio cost series - although now we’re 2 years later, i imagine the cost of the same house extension will have spiraled, if I were to try the same now 😳
Brilliant video Tom. I have 0 knowledge on house extensions so was a very enjoyable and informative watch! Will be watching to see if you keep it below £70k 😉
LOVE this! Thanks for sharing, this is super useful. Can’t wait for the next part. Has me so excited to get ours going later this year and will be documenting similarly because this content is important 😂👌🏾
That’s awesome Dee, please let me know when you put yours together (although I am subscribed so I will see!) can’t wait to watch. Thanks for stopping by 👊🏻
Hi Tom. Loving the videos. We are finding the information so helpful.We are looking at completing similar project. Would you be able to supply details of the architect you used please? The detail in the drawings is something we are looking for. Thanks Tom
Hi Katherine, it was just a small local architect that was recommended to me. I’d recommend someone local that can come to the property and discuss your ideas. He came and did a full technical survey of the house and then presented his drawings. We went with him as well because he used the 3d CAD design too which we found really useful
Great video! I hope you got the staying power to complete the vlogs, I’m at the early stages of my renovation project so I find this very relatable and interesting! Great work/content!
Nikki! Hahah! Welcome to the channel. It’s basically me trying to help people be better with cash whilst moaning and generally being sarcastic throughout. Hope that’s your thing!
Hi Tom, great little series. I couldn’t help but notice that the architects fees of £920 ish and planning fees seemed cheap, also where are the structural engineers fees?
Hi, thanks for the video! Can I ask what part of the country you're in? Have the large patio doors and large side window effected your energy retention Significantly? Thanks
We just finished our kitchen diner extension and it really has changed the way we live (aware that sounds a bit OTT 😂😂) the kitchen is always in the back of my videos!! Would have loved a playroom for the kids too but I think that’s something to aim for for our next house! Wishing you all the best with the building work!
Thanks Ryan, really appreciate that. Wasn’t sure who would be interested but it seems to have gone down quite well. Episode 2 coming out Monday evening.
Nice one Tom, should be interesting. thinking of doing the same here. just need to have a word with Elon, to give my Doge a push for the funding. Could i just as you to turn the music segments down a bit, as the wife keeps shouting through for me to turn it down in here.😁
Hi Robert 👋🏻 how are you doing? I’ll give Elon a nudge for you. ‘Hi is that Mr Musk? Yes Robert would like a new kitchen so if you could jump on Twitter that would be appreciated’
What area do you live in, those prices are ridiculous. I managed to do a 4x4m extension for 10k all together, that only includes labour cost and material cost.
@@ThatFinanceShow thanks to save costs I did the project management by myself so got separate bricklayers,plumbers roofers etc in. I live in the northwest
Why the heck did TH-cam keep this hidden from me for months!? :grins: Altho' my own plans for house-type projects have been put on hold due to the no longer having a job issue, it is still a subject of fascination to me ... time to pull up a pew :)
Oh dear another garage bites the dust. This is a real annoyance for me as a garage is so important, particularly if a house was built with one. Whenever I am looking for a house it is a real disappointment to see the garage has been utilised as another room. I don't understand why you don't move to a bigger house without ruining a good one, thinking the garage has no value.
Very unrealistic. We were also quoted so much by my uncle who was going to take a minimum cut. It's the materials that are basically double the price atm he said.
As someone considering an extension at the moment, you had me at "let me take you round the back"
Ooer missus

Iain, thank you very much. I hope I’m not far away on the budget, otherwise tent in the garden it is!

Came here after seeing end video. Love this retrospectively
This is super interesting! Looking forward to the progress of it all. It’s going to look stunning mate! 🙌🏽
Hiten! How you doing? Thanks for the comment, hopefully we pull it off! Stay tuned!
Awesome!!! looking forward to the next episode!
👊🏻 thank you so much! Hope it doesn’t disappoint. And the roof doesn’t fall off.
Production is top notch! That was pretty interesting indeed. Good work mate! Interested to see what happens next 👍
Ah thank you as always. So glad you enjoyed.
fantastic video, the quality of the video is so so so PERFECT
Ah thank you so much!!!

Thanks Peter. Was it all worth it in the end? Please say yes, otherwise I’ll bury myself in the foundations.
@@ThatFinanceShow no chance. Never again…. Lol 😂
@@peterwaller hahahahaha.
Great topic about something I know nothing about in terms of costing and the process.
Look walls!! 😂😂
Thanks mate! You never realise how exciting walls could be until you’ve forked out tens of thousands of pounds for them!
Good luck!! Extra space is always welcome. Looking forward to seeing how it all works out. Also really interesting to see the financing side - managing the costs of extension projects is one of the biggest challenges.
Hi Peter hope you’re good as always my friend. Yeah, managing the finances is stressful…let’s see how it pans out!
Something i know nothing about but an interesting topic, definitely looking forward to the next few episodes 👍🏼
Thank you Steve! Appreciate that, I wasn’t sure how interesting it might or might not be.
Great Tom! Looking forward to seeing how everything comes together 👍🏼
Thanks Chris, always great to hear from you. Hope all is good, really enjoying your content, keep going.

I can confirm the roof is not gold plated!! If you keep watching all 3 episodes you'll see what I actually spent. Good luck on yours.
Thanks for being so transparent and sharing your costs and details. Really helpful stuff and you kept your videos informative and succinct which I think Ir rare! We are about to do ours and have opted to project manage and get trades in individually as the quotes we are getting in London are insane!
Sam - are you in the trades and did you literally do it yourself or did you get the trades in? If so, how did you find it? Thanks
Never seen the back of Number 10 before! (Ooo Errr) Good luck with it. Hopefully Rogue Traders don't turn up :P
Oooo errrrr Mrs indeed! Thanks Toby! Here’s hoping it goes to plan. You’ll soon know if the next episodes don’t materialise! 😂
Super helpful and clear!!! 🙏🏻
Love this Tom, really interesting to see progress.
We looked at an extension and it was looking like coming in at £80-£90k so we just moved house 😂
Neil! Where’ve you been, this video has been up for 90 minutes and you’ve only just commented 😉. Thanks mate, glad to hear it’s interesting. Yeah…it’s some serious cash for sure!
What was it you built like extra rooms or somthing

Thank you Gary! So glad you liked it. The house is thought to be worth in the region of £550k now.
Nice one….house related videos always gets me curious 🧐
Ah thanks! I love a good house renovation programme too, thought I’d have a go!
awesome video, def like seeing projects like this. Like #39
Hi! Thanks so much, hopefully you enjoy the next episodes too, it really starts to get interesting from here…
Such a good video!! Thank you

Hi Josh, thanks so much, appreciate that mate. Thanks for checking it out 👊🏻
@@ThatFinanceShow really enjoyed it mate. It’s great content.
Crazy prices - diy I could have gotten to stage 3 at around 6-8 grand.
Brilliant video Tom. I have 0 knowledge on house extensions so was a very enjoyable and informative watch! Will be watching to see if you keep it below £70k 😉
Thanks Ryan! 🤞🏻 under £70k!!
Hi mate …who was your builder? I want to get an extension and your builder has done an amazing job .. looks fantastic
Just a local builder, got 3 quotes and went on recommendation.
LOVE this! Thanks for sharing, this is super useful. Can’t wait for the next part.
Has me so excited to get ours going later this year and will be documenting similarly because this content is important 😂👌🏾

From Howdens Graeme. Thanks!

Hey, How did you end up going about doing research for prices and getting quotes etc? My partner and I are looking to do something very similar.
Tom!!! I didn’t know you had a channel! Subscribed 😊 Hope you guys are good!
Nikki! Hahah! Welcome to the channel. It’s basically me trying to help people be better with cash whilst moaning and generally being sarcastic throughout. Hope that’s your thing!

Worcestershire, not noticed an energy problem no.
Can you tell me who did all the wirk? Architect, builder etc. Looking to do something similar.
Hi, just local architect and builder to me, asked around for recommendations
Conservatory with tiled roof cheaper and also nice.
Certainly cheaper yes! Not a huge fan of them myself.
We just finished our kitchen diner extension and it really has changed the way we live (aware that sounds a bit OTT 😂😂) the kitchen is always in the back of my videos!!

Thank you for the comment - I don’t think it sounds OTT at all, and am hoping it will do the same for us. Hopefully see you on the next episodes!
Flat roof and getting rid of a usable garage, worst nightmare 😣😬😢

You’re welcome round the back whenever you like Ian
I closed this video when you said 80k lol I want it to cost 8k not 80k lol goodbye.
Goodbye!
Very unrealistic. We were also quoted so much by my uncle who was going to take a minimum cut. It's the materials that are basically double the price atm he said.
I know this is a purely personal choice, but it looks like you ruined a perfectly beautiful building with a grotesque wart stuck on.
Not the look I was going for I’ll be honest 😂
Super cheap architect!!
Indeed!
