I'm thinking about purchasing a home, but the copper piping is missing. What is the average cost of replacemen?
First of all make sure you are paying the price of the house WITHOUT copper piping, Use plastic piping in lieu of copper when replacing, copper is now about $1000 a ton.
Not very much. If you do it yourself, ?200 - ?300 maybe, if you get a professional, maybe ?500 ish. Okay, maybe it's a lot, but not compared to the house. When you make an offer, make it clear that the lack of copper piping is making you bring your offer right down.
hi london our Friend got it wrong about the price of copper its 4000 per tonne scrap that's why it goes missing better and cheaper to use plastic you rarely get a burst pipe with plastic .and as a builder i use it all the time except for the tails where the rad pipes come out the floor then i fit copper for appearance sake
