How good are you at DIY though? My old landlord wanted to start doing up houses but the fact he didn't have the know how or time to do work himself made it a non-starter due to the costs.

I'm not sure how the prices there are compared to the prices here for trade but to put in a new boiler/heating system you could be looking at £5000! A fitted kitchen will set you back a couple of grand as well. Bathroom would be at least £800 plus materials
