Are there any well recognised rules of thumb for how much a house would cost to build? There is a plot of land for sale, that has caught my eye, and I'm trying to work out if I could sell up and do my very own grand design. I've no real idea how much a house would actually cost to build. For arguments sake, lets say its an easy site with access etc and a bog standard 3 bed detached would be the plan. There must be some back of a fag packet calculation I can do to come up with an approximate ball park figure?

the lecky was all of 5m from across the road and done in half a day. Shafted good and proper but nobody else can do the work but them......

So privatisation didn't introduce competition and drive down prices to the consumer, like we were told it would ?

🙁

Also, does anyone know how accurate magic map is? Turns out the bit of land I'm after doesn't show up on there!
