Hi All,
I have recently been looking into the feasibility of a self-build house. I suspect there are a few on this board with real life experience of a self-build and the issues/ costs involved.
- I have a relatively modest budget (Circa 320k) – what cost would you put on a contemporary new build? Is there likely to be a large sell on benefit? (obviously depending on size etc)
- Where can you find suitable plots of land for sale? Most online sources don’t state the planning status. Is it a big risk to buy a plot of land without planning permission? How long does it take and how difficult can it be to get permission?
- Are there local/government incentives to self-builders?
Thanks in advance for any help.
