Seeking Imperfect small plot in Cheshire for first home modular

[jon9483]

Hi All, 

 

My fiance and I are looking for a small modern home we can feel settled in. It does not have to be perfect - it can be on a slope. I intend to use a modular home on the plot.

 

Reviewing planning applications for cheshire west and east is a new process and time consuming. As I am working away foe several weeks at a time it would be useful to pay a professional individual to find plots. 

 

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Registering with local land and estate agents is your best place to start 

Especially if you can tell them your ready to commit As good plots don’t hang around on the market for long 

The ones that you see coming one day and sold the next have usually been offered to buyers before being advertised 

Irlam Estates is a good place to start

Welcome

 

WHat do you mean by this?

As above, register with all the local estate and land agents.

Know your budget, and have all finance in place and readily available ( 1 months notice for the full amount for plot only ) so that you can move fast, not that critical if you can get a  mortgage on an existing house that's on the plot.

Mass produced to bring down costs and built off site.

 

Here are a few examples.

They are not mass produced, they are built to an architects drawings.

It's not one size fits any plot.

The shell may be nearly the same sqft but the windows won't all be in the same location or internal layout.

 

You still need a plot of land to put it on, and the cash to buy a plot.

That's going to be some shipping cost getting that from Los Vegas,  and if it  would meet UK building regulations. 

 

I think a  static caravan, shipping container or a jack leg portacabin may be more viable.
