What do you get with a house renovation?

A house renovation brings an older or neglected home up to modern standards: rewiring, new heating, replastering, new kitchen and bathrooms, windows, insulation and often a new layout. It can be done room by room or as one programme while the house is empty.

Insulation and energy upgrades
Plastering, joinery, kitchen and bathrooms
Decoration and flooring if required

How much should I budget for a house renovation?

House renovations	Guide price incl. VAT
Light refurbishment	£600 to £1,000 per m²
Full renovation	£1,000 to £1,800 per m²
Structural renovation and remodel	£1,800 to £2,800 per m²

How is a house renovation approved in Lichfield?

In England we deal with the council’s planning team for permission or a lawful development certificate, with building control (the council or a registered building control approver) for inspections, and with neighbours under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 where it applies.

Internal work like this does not usually need planning permission unless the house is listed or your permitted development rights have been removed.

What should Lichfield homeowners check first?

Houses empty for two years or more can qualify for the reduced 5% VAT rate on renovation.
Living in during a full renovation is difficult; most people move out for part of it.
