    Think this site counts as b ? I may resort to c though!

    Thank you. Vehicular access is an issue as it’s a private drive for three houses so I wanted to know who is responsible for that but she couldn’t tell me. services are on site as there were previously flats on the land but water board is out this week to investigate further. At the moment there’s a tennis court and a derelict pool on site. Many trees to be removed. Yes, all adding up!!

    Ha! As much as I’m inexperienced I think I’m being realistic. Hope I am anyway!!

    Thank you. I’ll get a good look at these. The ideal would be to have the three, develop 1&2 for us and 3 as a 1.5 storey so I’ll read these properly. She didn’t say that about single storey. My gut was exactly those prices you gave so I’m glad about that. Thanks very much. Really appreciate your time.

    I asked the vendor about access when I met with her as that was a concern. And another concern is what a neighbour may build and as you say, take up the plot. We figured that size based on those plans but that wouldn’t really be worth our while and in all honesty can’t see them selling for that price. She doesn’t want to sell to a developer. She’s already had an offer and a note of interest, she said she’s rather sell to families. Can I ask where you saw the part about landscaping please? Thanks.

    Nope. That would not end well.

    Makes sense. Thanks.

    This is interesting, thanks. And yes, this is an issue here. It’s split as three but should only be two. Ideally we’d buy all three, develop one and sell on and then do our own behind it. There’s no conditions with planning so if three people buy they can develop exactly at the want so could block light etc. Also, because squeezed in a bit the gardens are north facing but if we did two we could turn them 90 degrees and go with west gardens which I’d prefer. We can’t do that at current asking price though.

    Yeah. This would be it. Till retirement and after.

    Glad to hear that It’s in a wee pocket of a street that is so mixed. The road is halved with one end being local authority flats and terraces selling £50-80k and the other end being big Victorian villas that sell for £700k upwards. I think a 4/5 bed detached in these plots would go £380-400 with a decent spec. I know what I would like to build In my head but don’t know costs for it yet. If land 150 then build would obviously need to be under 250 but this is where the inexperience comes as I don’t know if that’s ok.

    Thanks

    Yip, I get all that and have taken that into consideration too.

    This is def just buy the plot.
  16. Ellkell
    Sounds perfect!! Well done.

    So this is a Victorian villa with a large garden and the garden has been sectioned off to sell. At the moment there is outlined PP for three plots, approx 500 sq m each for £150k each. As I said my gut was that it was too much but after I visited them I knew it was. But still want to buy and build so need good negotiating data to get that down.

    Hello! We’ve always wanted to buy land and build our own home. For one reason or another we’ve never had the courage or the finances to do it. Now we find ourselves with two teenagers and a tween and wonder where the years have gone. Anyway, an opportunity has arisen to buy some land close to our own home (less upheaval and resistance from teenagers) but my gut feeling is that it is completely overpriced. I trawled through every plot of land for sale in Scotland last night and still feel that it is overpriced. Does anyone know how plots are priced up? I have a few points I can go back to the estate agent with tomorrow but I’d like a bit more, I’m assuming there’s a kind of formula like pricing up actual property?? If anyone has any insight I’d love to hear. Thanks, L.
