Find a plot then get an architect or look for an existing house design that suits you. Your architect can arrange the planning permission plus the various surveys and tests required.

 

finding a plot seems to be the hard bit




i might have to buy an old run down house a knock down

 

Try the selfbuild websites and plotsearch/plotfinder.
Property auctions are worth checking out but its essential to check everything very carefully and talk to the local planning officer before bidding

 

Alternatively I can sell you a plot

3 bed detached
4 bed detached
5 bed detached
3 bed bungalow
4 bed bungalow
3 bed townhouse
4 bed townhouse
or
5 bed townhouse

 

not got a big 3 bed bungalow?


i cant be bothered with stairs


cheers for help
