Thanks all for the welcome. I'm not sure buy to demolish would be feasible for us given where we're looking; it would probably take everything we've got to buy the place in the first instance and then leave nothing with which to actually build the new place. We appreciate it's going to take a while to find land but we're in no rush.

Hi all, I'm so glad I've stumbled across this forum. I've been lurking for a couple of weeks and it's been invaluable. We're very early in our adventure and are still looking for a plot - focusing on Surrey and Kent around the M25 border; basically within a decent commute of central London. We're hoping to get about 0.3 of an acre and, having lived in London Zone 2 for a while now my partner is very keen on actually having some greenery around us. Spoken to a couple of land owners but haven't progressed to actually buying anything yet. Got a fairly solid idea of what we want our new home to look like (both externally and in terms of layout etc.) and importantly what we can afford! My partner and I have zero experience in the building game, but my father used to run a small family construction business so we've got someone to get advice from at least. Looking forward to seeing all the other wonderful projects on here as well. Thanks,
