A couple who were quoted £120,000 for their barn conversion have saved £80,000 by doing most of the work themselves.

Georgia Goulden-Page, 30, and Josh Gill, 33, bought their dream barn conversion in Warwickshire in August last year for £715,000.

The property needed a full renovation, including a new kitchen, internal reconfiguration and extensive repairs.

Initially, the couple sought a contractor but after being quoted £120,000 for the work, they realised it wasn't financially viable.

Instead of putting the project on hold, they rolled up their sleeves and decided to take it on themselves.

They began the renovation in March 2025 and, as they near completion, have spent just £40,000 - saving a staggering £80,000.
