Ballpark for cosmetic renovation

Hi all - I want to compare some properties if I need to do some cosmetic renovation. Would the following cost seems in the right ball park? This is for full outsource price as it is interstate and I dont have the skills either.

1. Bathroom renovation (old bathroom like 1980s) - change vanity, taps, toilet, flooring, etc to make it more rentable / modern: 15k
2. Carpet - 3k per room
4. Painting, internal - 2k per room
5. New dishwasher - 2k, including installation
6. Aircon - 2.5k per aircon if needed
7. Kitchen - No idea???

Am I in the right ballpark estimation or I am way off, if so, what is more realistic estimation for each of the above? Wont have a chance to ask for actual quote in this market but want to get a ballpark level in case I make an offer for a property that needs some of these done soon (or in couple years down the road).

Thanks a lot.

 

Which state? It does vary from state to state.

But I would say $5k paint a whole small house (3 x 2) to $7k to paint a 4 x 2. More again if it's 2 storey etc.
Your carpet price is too high unless it's a high end property - I'd give $1k per room
Bathroom would be about right. You could probably do the kitchen for around the same depending on what appliances you want to put in.

 

Just finished this exercise for my place in Sutherland shire which is a 3 x 2 two story place

internal and external painting including staining wood trims - $10k
Carpet - 1 room - $980 installed
Wooden floor sanded and finished -$1.8k
New dishwasher- $550 delivered and installed

 

Carpet should be cheaper. Maybe $1100 approx a room including underlay and removal.

Kitchen, assuming average Ikea spec for full gut and reno including all appliances, stone top, trades etx...probably 15 to 20k depending on size and inclusions.

 

Thanks all. Very helpful.

It helps me to budget in some of these renovation costs when needed as I go through different possible properties to buy. Hope it helps some others too.

 

Really depends what size your kitchen is and the finish you want. Cheapest I have done is $7k, including appliances and trades. But I had to manage the whole thing myself.

 

As a very general rule should limit cosmetic renovation budget to 10% of current property value. Also depends what price range it is with internal fittings.
Your dishwasher cost seems a bit excessive IMHO.
