5. Handing Over The Cheque
5. Handing Over The Cheque (Image 5 of 16)
George is concerned that this flat, on the top floor in a block with lots of neighbours, needs a complete overhaul. It’s going to take a big budget to make an impact and satisfy Marek and Natalia’s expectations. He estimates they’ll need about £150,000.
The cheque, however, is for £100,000; two thirds of that. It may seem like a huge budget, but the size and condition of the flat, not to mention the practicalities of being at the top of a block, all have to be considered.
Marek and Natalia have put aside a contingency fund, which is standard for any build, but understandably they are reluctant to dip into theirs at this early stage.
