If the main reason for the retrospective warranty is to move away from a self build mortgage to a standard mortgage (or if selling, for a potential buyer to get a mortgage) and CMLC or similar provider are on the lenders' approved list then I don't see what the problem is.

All theory at this point I should add as we've not started groundworks yet. It'll be interesting to see how you get on with this.

Yes, through the blockwork and up/through to the plant room before the 65mm screed is laid

A question for the ASHP installer maybe? Been told we can install 6" ducting with sweeping bends for the flow/return lines and power cable.

I've been enjoying the series so far and last night's episode was no exception. I was disappointed there was no mention of the insulation thickness, u values, air tightness etc. I may have missed it but I can't remember if they mentioned how the house is heated. For that sort of money I'll be wanting a certified passive house. Missed opportunity I think.

Hi, whereabouts in Aberdeenshire is your plot? No personal experience of building to PH standards but the plan is to build an energy efficient home, Passivhaus-like if you will but without the certificate.

Looking within 20 miles south of Aberdeen in Scotland.

Hi, Looking to self-build but still looking for a plot. I will be having a lot of questions and I'm looking forward to engaging with like minded folk. Thanks
