Firstly, if you are thinking about building your own home expect the expenditure on your building plot to amount to around 30% of the total cost
Finding a suitable plot of land is going to take time and effort and a plot with any form of planning permission is likely to cost upwards of £100,000. Alternatively you may find a property with the potential to demolish and rebuild.
To increase your chances of finding a suitable plot, be prepared to take the time to look and also to build good working relationships with local estate agents.
Things to consider when searching for the ideal building plot
Be clear about the type of home that you want. Is a beautiful location the most important factor? Or is the design itself most important to you? If you dream of uninterrupted views, for example, your design will need to 'fit' with its surroundings.
Think ahead, if you buy part of a field with an amazing view, will the landowner sell off more land in the future, how will this impact on the view?
Some sites, for example a contaminated plot or one that is on a steep slope, will cost more to develop than others.
If you want to move to an area that is new to you, you need to be even more focused about your search criteria. Research the area thoroughly, build relationships with local estate agents and remember that repeated speculative visits can be time consuming, ฝากขายบ้าน costly and disheartening.
Thoroughly research possible locations and investigate what has and hasn't been allowed in that area recently.
How to find your building plot
Use one or more of the landfinder sites such as:

Train and utility companies have land bordering facilities or land left vacant after company restructuring. In urban areas plots become available when companies fold or move.
