Nearly ready to start


Recommended Posts

After nearly a decade since our outline planning went in almost ready to start!

 

Building warrant signed off in February 

Valuation of site and proposed house done on Thursday

Self build insurance purchased

Self build mortgage required site insurance and valuation before being finalised and that's now done, so should have this sorted next week.

 

I can't really think of any other preliminary work to do? 

 

Need to look for scaffolding, a shed/container and producing a list of materials.

Yes, this is an obsession.

 

The ten years might seem a bit misleading. I was 22 when we put in out line planning and was earning a pittance after finishing university, the credit crunch hit and nobody was lending especially to first buyer, let alone first time buyer and self builders, but now I have saved enough money and earn a salary which allows me to get a self build mortgage.

 

Yes I think when it properly starts I will keep a blog. 

 

Here is a picture of the site roughly where the digger is.

Yes the plan was to get rid of the paper aspects of the build and get uililties on site so when we were ready we would be ready.

 

Here a couple after the access was created through the trees and the hard standing was put on the site in 2015.

I agree with everybody It's Beautiful.

So when we gonna see what you have been dreaming of putting on the plot?

 

Here is what we are building. 

 

The site itself is surrounded by family agricultural land so it's more than just a plot to us. When we realised that building would be our best option to get on the property ladder it was just a case of picking the best spot for the house.
