Renovation costs

Hello Whipple,

Welcome to Expat.com

To start, please note that I have moved your thread to the Lisbon forum.

You might want to check the Construction and Renovations section in our Lisbon business directory to request a quote. I believe they are more likely to provide you with an accurate estimate for such work.

All the best,

    My wife and I are strongly considering buying a duplex and moving to Lisbon.  The thought is to turn the second floor into a mini suite for my mother in law complete with bathroom and kitchen. When looking at properties, some interesting options have a bathroom upstairs but no kitchen and are in need of an almost full renovation. Can anybody tell me the approximate costs of a full renovation for 95 sq meters including adding a kitchenette to the second floor? Thank you        -@Whipple

Hi and Welcome,

May I suggest you supply further information. Such as define "duplex" (as there are multiple meanings) and "full renovation". What type of finishes, any structural changes, does the paperwork allow the changes you envisage? etc.

@Whipple A second floor unit for an elderly person can be difficult to manage. Maybe install a residential elevator? Small footprint.

$25,000 or so here in the US. Dunno about cost or availability in Portugal.

[link moderated] is one company that makes these.

Renovations can vary a lot depending on factors like materials, labor costs, and the extent of work needed. For a clearer idea of costs, you might want to consult professionals in the field.
