Thinking About Buying a Site to Self Build a House in the UK? Watch This Before Buying Land to Build On. What might seem like a plot of land with everything going for it may be impossible to build on, which can be a very expensive mistake if you paid for the site upfront. If you don't know the difference between outline and full planning permission, never heard of visibility splays, ransom strips and why septic tanks can stop your site from being developed, watch this video BEFORE you buy land to build on.
Most people who haven't bought land obsess on planning consent but there is so much more to consider.
This video is not intended to be comprehensive and only applies to the UK. Wherever you are, always take the advice of a local Architect and a Lawyer prior to buying land for development. ______________________________________________________________________
