Remember to factor in the following costs...
In addition to the plot and total build cost, there are other costs associated with building a home that need to be accounted for. The costs associated with purchasing the plot (legal fees and stamp duty), a topographical survey, any surveys you may need for planning purposes (e.g. ecological surveys), design fees, planning fees and the cost to create plans for Building Regulations’ purposes should all be factored in. you’ll also need to purchase self-build insurance as soon as you buy your plot, and it’s a good idea to purchase a warranty, too. Another common ‘hidden’ cost is the cost of bringing services like electricity, water and mains gas to site. All these extras can add up fast, so stay on top of them.
