@Moira Niedzwiecka Hi, yes I'm registered with Harborough and Charnwood, they're the areas I'm most interested in. Somerby is not that far. I don't know it but I know roughly where it is. If you hear of anything, plot-wise, please let me know!!!

Hi. Sounds like I'm not far, Houghton on the Hill, but I'm looking for a plot anywhere in the area. What stage are you are? How did you come by your plot (assuming you have one!)?

Hi everyone I'm Jez. I'm in the very early stages of my first self-build, which I'm planning on being a "log house" of some description. The first thing that's become clear is the difficulty I'm having finding a plot! Restrictions of Neighbourhood Plans and Council Plans, restricted usages, competition from others, and of course the mortgage-busting cost of some of the plots I've seen are all denting my belief that I can actually find a suitable plot. But it's only been a few weeks so the search continues! The forum is great by the way, it's a fantastic way for a "self-build community" to share experiences, knowledge, and thoughts. There doesn't seem to be much else around like it. Jez ?
