Scures_Selfbuild

I don't think our self build mortgage company will allow rainwater harvest...🙁 I think we will need to investigate the borehole option then and potentially moling

Thank you all for replying so promptly. To answer some questions: We are based in Hampshire The original quote from South East Water was £10,000 to connect our site to the mains water supply. The new quote from them is almost £150,000. The mains water is across the other side of the road which is an A road Most of the cost is in traffic management. We will investigate a third party to do moling - thank you for suggestion Thank you for the approximate costs of boreholes.

Good Evening, looking for some advice or anyone that has been in a similar situation. Bought our plot of land and as part of the checks we did pre-purchasing, we ensured we could connect to all services within budget. South East Water quoted us to connect to the water mains which we were satisfied with. Now the build has started, we have asked South East Water to commence work and they have come back and said that it will cost us >10 times their original quote to connect us to the water mains (mainly due to traffic management). We are currently looking into using a third party for traffic management, as this is where the bulk of the cost is coming from, but if we are unable to bring costs down, we will need to look at alternatives to getting water to site e.g. borehole. Does anyone have a borehole and can you advise on company to use or factors to consider? Or anyone been in a similar situation to us and have advice on how to proceed? Thank you in advance.
