It's official - I'm a cheapskate!
I have just fully refurbished a 1,760 square feet property I recently bought from auction. The refurb cost me just under £12,000. Here are the approximate figures:

New carpets and underlay from the Internet £1,750, plus £450 fitting = £2,200
New decoration = £3,250
General materials, furnishings, curtains, Victorian fireplace from eBay = £1,400
Handyman for new locks, a bit of electrical work = £720
PURCHASE PRICE: £100,000
Refurbishment: £12,000
Bridging loan costs, solicitors, etc: 5,500
Auction costs and associated costs: £4,000
CURRENT VALUE: £190,000
