PART ONE: WHY ARE PLOTS SO ELUSIVE?
Over the next 15 months, I’ll be taking an in-depth look at why land finding can be challenging in the UK and explain every stage of the process to make sure you don’t inadvertently buy a plot with problems. We’ll cover everything from where to look, to plot appraisals, how to buy a plot and how to avoid paying over the odds.
Plenty of land comes to market, but it doesn’t always match up to the expectations of potential buyers. Oven-ready plots that support your version of the self-build dream can be as rare as hen’s teeth. Good plots therefore sell fast, even at what may seem like inflated prices.
