Build Cost Self Roofing |
If you bought a plot of land, bought materials whilst paying wholesale rates, then employed labour directly, you would be buying a house at cost price. You would be paying what a house developer has to pay, but you don't need to add on your marketing and sales costs and a profit margin.
To ensure that cash flow is not a problem, the lender
usually advances the money to you in five steps as part
of the self build finance. You need to plan carefully
the costs that you may incur in building the house. You
won't get the mortgage unless you've done this anyway,
but your installments might not be sufficient if you
have underestimated your costs or suddenly need to buy
new materials. In case you want to doubly sure of everything, don’t think twice about calling in a surveyor, a planning consultant and an architect. Arranging for build cost self services and providing for infrastructure is the key. Water is essential. As soon as you have a lockable box or the meter box is built in, a supply can be connected to a temporary consumer unit. Gas will not be required until the later stages of the build. |
