How to lower renovation costs?
What are some of the best ways of lowering renovation costs?
Moving a door - fixing/building wall
Our house is a typical 1930 mid-terraced house. When you enter you see a wall at the end of the corridor, because the kitchen door is under/behind the stairs. We want to move the door to the left side of the wall (so you can see it when you enter the house) and close the area under the stairs to make storage space. How much would cost to fix/build the wall (where the door sits currently) and open a door on the left side?
Moving a stud wall
I split a large bedroom into 2 with a stud wall about 3 years ago. However, I didn’t get the calculations correct and one of the bedrooms is very small. How much would it cost to move the wall half a metre? Many thanks.

Cost to convert two flats back into one house
We're looking at a victorian terrace that was split into two flats decades ago and want to return it to a single home. What sort of budget should we allow for something like this? I know it's difficult without seeing it, so just something rough would help. Anyone got experience doing this too, looking for insight on things to watch out for in the process
