STEP 2.1: Decide what you can afford
Now’s the time to decide exactly what you’ll be needing for your makeover.

It’s also important to decide what you can do yourself, and if you’ll need to use a tradesman at any stage. This will also need to be budgeted for.
TIP: Moving any power or plumbing can take a large proportion of your budget, so replacing like for like is best.
