Assuming a typical 3-bed semi needs complete refurbishment consisting of the following: 1. New bathroom 2. New kitchen 3. Exterior walls painted 4. Interior walls skimmed and painted 5. All woodwork replaced/painted 6. All ceilings skimmed and painted 7. New carpets 8. Garden and driveway tidied/landscaped 9. New light switches/electrical sockets How much should I set aside for all of that? Would £20K cover it?

There is a property that I saw a few weeks ago that is now "Under Offer". Is it possible to make an offer on such a property (it is not "Sold STC")?

But I want to buy a property in the Eastcote area. Hence, my question.

I'm currently looking at 2-3 bed properties in Ruislip/South Ruislip/Eastcote. The going rate for end-terrace or semi-detached properties seems to be anything from £300K to £450K. I've set my budget at around £340K (listed price) so was wondering what I can get away with in terms of offer?. I don't really want to pay out any more than £310K to £320K. I've accepted an offer on my property so the sales process for that is well underway. What's a realistic initial offer to make on a £330K property in the Eastcote/Ruislip area? And what would they end up being sold at? My own thinking is to start at £305K and end at between £310K to £315K. Is this realistic?
