Hello everyone,
How can future modernization costs be estimated when buying a house, specifically for a terrace of about 40m2 (430 sq ft) and a complete renovation of a bathroom of approximately 10–12m2 (110–130 sq ft)?
For the terrace, new flooring needs to be installed, and the terrace entrance, which is through the living room, consists of a full glass wall. The bathroom requires new tiling, as well as the purchase and installation of a modern shower enclosure and washbasin (plumbing).
Are there any general rules of thumb or standard estimates for assessing such investment costs?
Good luck.

I would assume that with an older model, the cold would already penetrate into the living room, right?
@ypg: By glass front, it means what apokolok already mentioned 🙂
Sorry, I noticed the feature too late.
My partner thinks a 10m² (108 sq ft) bathroom is already quite large.

Well, either you have the money to replace the windows right away, or you live with it for a winter to see how it goes.
I also have a conservatory from the 1980s, made from some kind of high-quality tropical hardwood, and of course it’s a bit cooler in winter, but you can still have breakfast in there even when it’s -5°C (23°F) outside. The carpenter I trust said definitely not to replace them, as that would be very expensive nowadays. Maybe just replace some seals in specific spots.
