renovate house

We’re looking to buy a house but it needs a lot of work. I’m trying to get a ballpark figure of how much it’ll cost us.

The house is 1300sq ft, needs new flooring (wood laminate), a new kitchen with cabinets, counters, appliances, 2 new bathrooms including all fixtures except the toilets, new paint including ceiling and doors for closets.

It’s $235K, market for a house in that neigborhood, same style is $265-280.

Should we buy?
It also needs new shrubs and lanscaping and the outside trim needs painting.
