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?

Boston.com / Real estate Buying Renting Recent sales Place an ad Luxury Living Community data Financing Commercial Moving Guides How to solve appraisal problems By Inman news MORE Having an appraisal done on your home is essential, whether or not you plan on selling. Loan calculators NEWS LINK NEWS LINK RESOURCES For Sale: Homes | Condos | Open Houses For Rent: Apartments | Houses | Roommates Vacation rentals Place an ad: On Boston.com | In the Globe Commercial: Search listings for sale or rent An appraisal is a dispassionate, third-party estimate of the value of a piece of property. It can either give you peace of mind by affirming your offering price or it can put the kibosh on a transaction entirely. As part of your loan application, you will pay for your lender (typically $200 to $400) to order an appraisal to estimate the current market value of the home you want to buy. You may also opt to hire an appraiser yourself before you make an offer to help you determine the price you bid on a house. Lenders require appraisals before they will approve and fund a loan in order to ensure that the home is worth the amount of money you are asking for. While most appraisals match up with what buyers want to borrow, some do not, which can send a lender backing out of your loan commitment. Understanding how real estate appraisals and appraisers work can help you deal with the consequences. Why do appraisals go awry? Most appraisal problems boil down to two things: incomplete information on the property or incompetence of the appraiser. Incomplete information often comes with the appraisal territory. All appraisals must conform to guidelines set by the Federal Reserve, but ultimately every appraisal is a subjective analysis of a property's current market value. To arrive at that number on your house, an appraiser will compare your house with that of three comparable homes in the area that have sold within the past six months and adjust for differences in the properties. They will photograph, measure and inspect the home (do NOT consider this your home inspection, however) to help them make their comparisons. But true market value can be difficult to ascertain in markets where prices are volatile and properties widely vary. Incompetence in the field can cause appraisal problems, too. Not all real estate appraisers are created equal in terms of licensing and education. While federal licensing requirements for everyone are being phased in, only about half the states currently require appraisers to be licensed, though most states do require appraisers to pass a written examination and have 75 hours of continuing education and 2,000 hours of direct experience. Inexperience can be a big culprit in a problem appraisal, so can downright incompetence. Boosting the appraisal A lender probably will reject your loan application if the appraisal of the property comes back lower than the asking price. But you can fight a low-ball appraisal. Here's how: Get a copy of the appraisers report. You can successfully argue to raise the estimated value if you show that the report overlooks a valuable feature of the home or failed to consider the recent sale of comparable property for a higher price. Take your case to your loan representative. The lender can override the estimate or order a new report from a different appraiser. Try to renegotiate with the seller. The seller may be willing to accept less than you originally agreed to pay in order to avoid the time and cost required to cancel the sale and put the house back on the market. Increase your down payment. The lender may be willing to overlook a low appraisal if you put more money down. Find a good appraiser Ask your lender for the names of appraisers they know, trust and have on their list of approved appraisers. You also can check with one of several national appraisal organizations for names of local appraisers who are members in good standing. Look for an appraiser who can do your appraisal in a timely manner and who has experience in the area you want to buy. This can help speed things along, and assure you of an accurate appraisal. TIP: If you do choose an appraiser from your lender's list to check out a house, and you end up making an offer, you may not have to pay again for the required loan-application appraisal. Quick Take If you have any question about the value of the house you are bidding on, add an appraisal contingency to your purchase offer. This provision stipulates that the property must appraise for at least the purchase price you're offering. If the appraisal comes in lower, you can back out of the deal or renegotiate price. feedback | help | site map | advertising | globe archives | rss © 2006 The New York Times Company Real Estate Guide - Massachusetts Home Builder - New Home Construction
