hi builders mate. that 9X13 is the footprint. the plot is 40ft X 120ft, but in lincolnshire so the value is �70.000. the architect said that the last property he built worked out at �500. per sq mtr. without the bathroom and kitchen. hard to work out the best way to go as new houses of 4 bedroom and garage of a reasonable quality only sell for around �200,000, ( not on an estate, individually built with a reasonable garden)so if they paid �70,000 for the land, how are they making a profit? I know wages are lower up here but that is mainly the land workers and immigrants, the tradesmen are on a near level with the south. so how do they make a profit?
thanks, alf.
