    Reconfiguring an extension

    Hi, I am in the process of buying a house. The house has been extended, and there is a wall running through vertically through this extension (towards back of house). We are looking to knock out the majority of this wall (imagining need structural engineer, potentially beam installed) We would then be looking at adding in two small rooms (a downstairs small WC and small utility) and add a new kitchen into this. On top of this we will likely need to replace flooring. Given the reconfiguration I also could assume we would need to work with an electrician to ensure we have new sockets in the right places etc. The two rooms to knock through into each other are approx 7.5m x 3.4m & 5.8m x 2.2m Has anyone encountered similar jobs and know a rough ballpark on what I can expect cost wise & anything I haven’t considered? Thanks in advance
