I am considering buying a small cottage and adjacent land in Ireland for use primarily as a holiday home. I have narrowed down my choices to two properties. Both are in exceptionally scenic areas affording privacy and stunning natural landscapes. However, one has already been modernised (renovated) and sells for about 40,000EURO more than the other. Would I be saving money to buy the 'project' house and renovating it myself, or is it potentially a money pit and I'd end up spending more than the already-finished property? When I say 'renovate it myself' I mean hiring people to do it for me, since I'm completely naive about these things and helpless when it comes to DIY projects. So, my question is what can I expect to pay in order to renovate a small 200-year-old Irish cottage in disrepair but sound structural condition to a high standard, and how long would this take? Thanks in advance.
