Land for Sale in UK - Self Build Home Information Land for Sale UK - Self Build Self Build Land - Welcome! What kind of land buyer are you? In our recent market research, the conclusion was reached that the people visiting our site can be categorised into two main groups. We gave these groups the titles "Land Investors" and "Self Builders". In order to better cater for your particular needs we urge you to read on and decide which category you fall into. Land Investors "Land Investors" are people looking for a good return in the medium to long term. People looking to enter this market can do so for an investment of as little as £10,000 and could walk away with £100,000. The reason for this massive increase of value is dependant upon planning permission being acquired. Land investors buy a plot of land for around £10,000 without any planning permission, and should planning permission be gained the government states that it is normal to get development gains of 300%. The reason why not everyone invests this way is that planning permission is not guaranteed for any bit of land. The best chances of getting planning permission lie with open field plots next to existing housing developments in areas of high housing needs. As plots in such good locations like this are hard to come by we recommend you use an agent that specialises in these high potential plots, such as investment land for sale agents PropertySpy , as we are focused on the self builder market. Self Builders "Self Builders" are people looking for land that already has outline planning permission. The two reasons behind this are that either a particular individual wants to build a house for themselves to their specifications within two years, or they are interested in making a smaller profit in a short time period. A self builder will typically pay from £100,000 for a plot of land with outline planning permission. On top of the initial land investment, the cost of designing and building the house will fall to the self builder. It is important to see that if your motives behind self building are financial that profit is in no way guaranteed in fact a loss may even be made. If, for example, the cost of building overran, or the work took longer than expected, the cost would still fall to the self builder. It is not uncommon for a project to cost £280,000 but the property at the end of it to only be worth £240,000. The self builder looking to create the dream home to whom making a profit would just be incidental is really the perfect candidate for this site and so if you feel that this is you please read on. Those people looking for a profit are best land investing where you gain an asset which you do not need to risk vast amounts of capital on to see either a tiny percentage profit or indeed a loss. As a self build enthusiast with years of experience in sourcing land for self build, I decided it was time to write a small internet site to help fellow self build enthusiasts address the difficult problem of finding a residential plots of land for sale UK. Self builds have grown from 2,000 houses in 1978 to 15,000 in 1999. I believe that they could grow to 40,000 per year if so many were not put off at the first (and highest) hurdle – that of finding a building plots of land for sale. I do not claim to know everything about self build land UK – but I have many years experience. I hope that my advice will help you in buying that plot of land where you intend to build your dream house. Deciding to self build you home is an intimidating prospect. Hopefully this site will help you in finding that plot of land that you scan look to build your house on in the years ahead. The recent prestigious Joseph Rowntree Foundation report on the state of UK self build housing states "Finding and buying the right plot is generally regarded as the most important barrier faced by self-builders". Having advised and helped many people looking to identify land on which to self build homes I am often asked why do people consider self building their house? The simple answer is that for a small bit of planning on your behalf you can save so much money that you can afford to build your dream home! It is a fact that almost all self build homes are detached, and most have four bedrooms. For a bit of forward planning would you like to be able to afford a detached, 4-bedroom brand new house, built to your design and your specifications? With questions like this it is surprising that only 8.3% of new houses built in 1999 were self build houses in UK. In the other 91.7% of new houses we let the Developers make the profit from organising the house building. You have to say that the English are a generous people! Whilst there is now a good deal of support for the financing, planning and building of the self build house, there is still little help for the self builder in identifying and buying the right plot of land. The price of the plots of land for sale in UK is the largest single cost of the self-build and can vary wildly. Whilst the average South East price for a self build plot in early 2000 was over 100,000 it is still now possible to buy a self build plot in the South East for around 15,000 if you are prepared to wait a little longer for planning permission to be granted. Time and patience is something that all self builders must have in abundance! The Self Build idea is also evolving all the time. One of the latest ideas is for like-minded self builders to buy adjoining plots of land and then apply for planning permission en mass, often with the help of a communally funded professional planning consultant. This new idea has had most success in London and the South East where Land for sale is hardest to source because the overcrowding and the large profits on offer for House builders. < return to Top of page Useful Self Build Links Finding Self Build Land and Building Land for Sale Plot Browser - 01283 742 970 PropertySpy plc - 0845 123 6444 Want to sell your land?

Google Answers: Real Estate Prices --- Leading Indicators Log in | Google Answers Home View Question Ask a Question Q: Real Estate Prices --- Leading Indicators ( Answered , 5 Comments ) Question Subject: Real Estate Prices --- Leading Indicators Category: Family and Home > Home Asked by: nronronronro-ga List Price: $25.00 Posted: 19 Apr 2005 15:33 PDT Expires: 19 May 2005 15:33 PDT Question ID: 511542 Hi There!I was goofing off today, and started looking throughwww.craigslist.com for real estate. I looked at 11 different citiesfrom San Francisco to Phoenix to Washington, D.C.Mini-Eureka moment! I noticed the number of lease-options availablehas increased significantly in each and every city. 11 of 11 towns! The last time I checked www.craigslist.com was 5 months ago.This observation sparked my rusty brain cells. There must be leadingindicators for real estate, in the same way there are leadingindicators for stocks. Here's a list of possible danger signals forreal estate off the "top of my head":1. Increasing lease-options2. Increasing number of days on the market3. Increasing number of unsold homes in a city4. Decreasing ratio of Asking Price/Transaction Price5. Increasing number of homes on the market more than 120 days6. Decreasing number of mortgage applications7. Increasing number of newspaper classified ads for real estateI'm not a real estate guy. But I'm sure some brilliant professor hasdevised a computer model to predict when real estate prices willdecline 6-12 months hence.A 5-star answer would be 5-10 additional leading indicators for realestate. No background material needed. (However, if you happen tofind an objective study on leading indicators then I would love totake a look at that, too.)All comments greatly appreciated!Thanks.ronP.S. Please note that indicators like "Forecasted Job Growth" or"Forecasted Property Tax Receipts" won't help much, precisely becausethey are forecasts and not hard data. The best indicators wouldinvolve hard numbers that can be observed right now, and used to makecomparisons.EXAMPLES:1. Days on the market for San Francisco versus days on the market for Phoenix.2. Days on the market for San Francisco in April 2005 versus days onthe market in San Francisco in January 2002.(This question doesn't involve specific numbers or specific cities. Rather, it involves the kind of indicators one might observe. Thx.) Answer Subject: Re: Real Estate Prices --- Leading Indicators Answered By: easterangel-ga on 19 Apr 2005 16:59 PDT Rated: Hi!

Subject: Re: Real Estate Prices --- Leading Indicators From: pafalafa-ga on 20 Apr 2005 05:03 PDT Since we're doing some work on the house in DC, I've been paying moreattention that usual to the real estate pages of the Washington Post.One of the sort-of-indicators that they mention often is theincreasing amount of property that is bought as an investment, ratherthan as a first home. They also cite the increasing trends in2nd-home sales.For both of these though, I don't know if there's an actual statistic,or just the observation of people in the business.Nice work, though, easterangel.paf Subject: Re: Real Estate Prices --- Leading Indicators From: nronronronro-ga on 20 Apr 2005 10:52 PDT Thanks, pafalafa!My business partner just purchased a home across the street from theNational Cathedral. He obviously checked out DC. He found the "PMIRisk Index" for DC was very low, whereas the same PMI Risk Index formy state (California) was very high. The only place more risky thanSan Francisco/San Jose was Boston.Rut Row !ron Subject: Re: Real Estate Prices --- Leading Indicators From: silver777-ga on 24 Apr 2005 05:35 PDT Ron,Your application of logic is spot on.Your points 1 to 7 could relate to any real estate market.In fact, I had counted the number of "for sale" ads by COLUMNnot just the pages. I also counted the number of propertiesfor lease. Another gauge might be to weigh the newspaper, orin the least the real estate section. I reckon that the more "for lease" properties tells us a lot about the climate of the sale market. An increase in borrowing rates will impact on the rental rates and realised sale prices,regardless of the asking prices published. Check also the auctionclearance rates.Have you sourced any cash-flow positive properties of late?Phil Subject: Re: Real Estate Prices --- Leading Indicators From: nronronronro-ga on 20 May 2005 15:34 PDT Alas, Phil...only the women in my life are cash-flow positive.
