Fore 3 years ago we bought a house in a decent size city at £103K at 133m2 in Denmark, and the houses prices is still pretty much the same the prices have gone up £11k on our house but mostly because I have renovated over the time.

But here in Denmark if you buy a house you pretty much need to could renovate by our self, because the professional is extremely expensiv, if I needed to hire a professional to replace my roof it would cost us £100k and I can do it by my self for £10k.

Edited: with symbols for pound on all now

Yes I figured as much from the "for 3 years ago", which is totally Danglish, "3 years ago" is enough.

Sorry, I just found it funny, that I figured a Dane wrote that from the first 3 words.😀

And yes professionals are really expensive, USD 100k to replace an entire roof doesn't even sound expensive, if it includes materials, it's sounds dirt cheap.

Edit I just checked prices, and apparently you can get a new roof for a 100m2 house approximately 1000 ft2, for about USD 10000.

You're out by a factor of 10 if you think a new roof is 100k

You can't get a professional to replace your roof for 10k£
