[QUOTE="Clive, post: 3732332, member: 6"] I've done it twice now in grand design style First was a new build - VAT is zero rated so it's best done outside the farm business Bespoke costs and changing your mind costs so if you want to keep things under control do neither ! Cheapest route will be a kit house that has already been build buy someone else, get a builder on a fixed price contract I didn't do any of the above ! Ended up with a fabulous house though that was massively over budget and time ! Second (current) project is a restoration / large extension of a listed farmhouse. I've made most of the mistakes I did first time around again ! It will be over budget and over time again !! All builders are pathalogical liars and mostly have no genuine comprehension of money or time It's so worth it though ! Results are fabulous and nothing better than living in a house you were involved in building [/QUOTE]
