We are about to put a bid on a 3 bedroom/ 1 bath terraced house in West London that hasn't been updated for over 40 years. It needs new central heating (which I estimate at 3000-5000 pounds). But i'm not sure if it would need new plumbing for the rest of the house. Does anyone know roughly how much this would cost?

Thanks.

Water pipes don't really corrode over time - unlike electricity cable where the rubber cable used prior to PVC type perishes over time. I can understand the need to change the CH pipes (if the house HAS CH - the mid-1960s was when water-pipe based CH started being fitted in a big way to 'normal' houses). So I'm not sure really why you'd need to do this - unless the house is very old and has lead pipes. Talk to a local plumber for onsite advice, perhaps.
