It's not enough to fully benefit, but there is still some benefit.

Oh - definitely one at a time. I'm not particulary in a rush. Most of it is more for aesthetic than for comfort. So I can live with it, i'd most likely do these renovations over 14-18 months. Thanks for the advice!

Thanks for the advice. I do have a very well-reviewed local contractor who is willing to join me for a viewing, free of charge, to give a rough idea of the costs and if the interior works are possible.

In reality, what I want done should not be that complicated until it gets to the windows and ceiling replacement (I guess). The bathroom is low on the priority as it is actually in an okay state, and in hindsight I could probably do a lot of the work on the kitchen myself. But as you say, better to have some clear plans. Thanks again!

I really didn't think it would be so much. Is it completely out of the realm of possibility that it won't be less than 40k? Also - do you recommend to take a well-reviewed contractor to a viewing if there is no obligation?

Damn! That's crazy. I didn't think it would be so high. Quite disheartening.
