Scode99 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Hi everyone. Newbie from Poole, Dorset. Have joined to learn from seasoned self-builders here. Currently searching for affordable (if such exists in Dorset!) suitable plot to build a 4/5 bed house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russdl Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I wish you the best of luck @Scode99 Most people find the plot search the trickiest part until you find one, and then all the other trickiest parts start. I guess by looking for ‘affordable’ you’ve struck Sandbanks off the shortlist ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently searching for affordable (if such exists in Dorset!) suitable plot to build a 4/5 bed house. Welcome. Affordable - what does that mean? I can't, you maybe can. What is certain, though, is that land in your immediate area will cost more as a proportion of your total build price. A quick glance at SPONS will show you also that build costs around your area are more expensive than those inside the M25. You need @nod on the job. He's brilliant at nosing out sites and buying them at the right price. @Ferdinand's yer man for setting you straight in relation to planning once you've found somewhere. Many here have found the search for a sensibly priced and convenient site needs a good dose of persistence. Plenty of time to absorb the collective wisdom on BuildHub then...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bozza Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Welcome. Take time to read through all the older posts. You’ll learn so much. And if you have specific questions not already answered someone here will know the answer or have a good stab at it. If you ask for opinions you’ll get differing ones though !
