JohnParf Posted Friday at 14:17 Share Posted Friday at 14:17 Hi, It’s been a long planning journey but we now have light at the end of the tunnel to demolish our poultry unit and replace it with 2 dwellings. We previously got planning to convert it, but it was so constrained that we didn’t want to proceed. A change of use and a failed application later, we now have a positive pre app and are submitting for planning. I’m now trying to map out how we will proceed post planning. We have some savings, but ultimately we’ll need to sell our current home to complete the build. The dream is that we end up in our dream house with a substantial sum towards our retirement with the proceeds from the second property.

Great you got permission to do these as replacement dwellings as now you’ll enjoy zero rate VAT Have you built before or are you complete newbies? Please ask loads of (some say stupid) questions as I doubt there actually are any stupid questions with an undertaking such a house build (let alone two ).

JohnParf Posted Friday at 14:36 Author Share Posted Friday at 14:36 We’re serial renovators , but this is our first new build. I’ve done a pretty much knock down and rebuild of a family home, a grade 2 listed farmhouse renovation ( our current home) but this is to tick that ‘ Grand Designs’ box on the bucket list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
