Old houses tend to cost a lot less to buy than new houses which is understandable but then comes the age-old question; is my old home worth renovating?

If you are renovating yourself, you can save money in the long run and end up with a great investment. An old house can be quite unique in the sense of light fittings and woodwork but there are ways in which you can keep these details in the home whilst also bringing it up to date.

On the other hand, the cost of renovating an old home could be quite high. Replacing the roof, electrics or plumbing comes up top of the list when renovations occur. It can also take time depending on how many unexpected surprises might pop up. This makes the timeline longer.

Weigh up your own pros and cons before deciding to go ahead. Good luck!
