Description

Many of us long to build our own house from scratch. But instead of building a new house, why not rescue an old one? You could save a house and make a home. Written by an expert in home restoration, and adviser to the major new BBC TV series, Dereliction Detectives, How to Rescue a House is a practical and common sense guide to bringing a neglected property - whether abandoned, derelict, or just in need of some tender loving care - back to its former glory.

This radical approach to home improvement covers everything you need to help you on your way. It shows you how to locate and buy the perfect property for you; assess whether your project is viable and deal with planning and building regulations; choose the right materials and hire the best people for the project; re-design your property and create space, warmth, security and profit; fund your project and manage your money; and learn tips and tricks usually known only to property developers and local authorities
