If you want to create your own Grand Designs home, but are deterred by the prospect of a 潜在的に 非常に長い and コンビナート/複合体 building 過程, a prefab could be the answer.

In the past, the word 'prefab' has been associated with cheap, 集まり building in the 戦後の period. But today's 見解/翻訳/版s can be design masterpieces that are also high-tech and hard-wearing - and the exterior at least can usually be 任命する/導入するd on-場所/位置 within three or four days.

The cutting-辛勝する/優位 designs of modern prefabs have been given a 調印(する) of 是認 by the 大臣 for 住宅, Planning and London, Gavin Barwell.

Speaking at a 住宅 会議/協議会 in London, he said: 'Understandably people will have 関心s about 質 and design.

'But these aren't the poor-質 pre-fabs of the past. There is 簡単に no comparison,' he 追加するd.

'They 始める,決める the (判断の)基準 for the 最新の, cutting-辛勝する/優位 designs.'

'They're built in 高度に controlled factory settings, and the parts 組み立てる/集結するd 正確に onsite.'?

One of the big advantages of prefabs is that they?申し込む/申し出 抱擁する 柔軟性 with the 所有物/資産/財産s 存在 built off 場所/位置 and then 任命する/導入するd within a 事柄 of days on-場所/位置, often to the 必要物/必要条件s of the owner (for example, 買い手s may decide to divide the space into three smaller bedrooms instead of two larger ones).

The 長,指導者 problem, as with any self-build 事業/計画(する), is finding the land to put one on. (疑いを)晴らす building 陰謀(を企てる)s are almost impossible to come by in popular areas of the south of England and even in いっそう少なく in-需要・要求する 場所s they can be 堅い to find.

That means that many self-建設業者s 選ぶ to buy an 存在するing house and knock it 負かす/撃墜する to make way for their 事業/計画(する). The downside to this is that it is expensive, however, the 可能性のある cost and time 貯金 of a prefab will help keep those 法案s 負かす/撃墜する わずかに.

Once you've got your 陰謀(を企てる), you need planning 許可. A striking modern prefab is likely to stand out from 隣人ing homes, however, planners may look favourably on its design status. It would be wise to find a 地元の planner to speak to and get a steer on your 会議's thoughts.

How do you find the land to build on??

Unless you already own a 陰謀(を企てる), you need to factor in the cost of buying the land, something that will depend on several factors - perhaps most important its 場所.

How much does it cost to buy land with planning permission around the country?

How much does it cost to buy land with planning 許可 around the country?

HOW TO FIND A PLOT OF LAND TO BUILD A HOME

1. Keep an open mind:?The main 推論する/理由 that people fail to 購入(する) a 陰謀(を企てる) is not that they fail to find any 可能性のある 場所/位置s, but because they will not 妥協.

?2. 熟考する/考慮する 地図/計画するs:?Using Google 地図/計画するs, you'll be able to identify gaps in the streetscene, small bungalows on large bits of land, and 可能性のある backland 陰謀(を企てる)s, all of which are 熟した for redevelopment.

3. Know your area: You need to familiarise yourself with the area, and gather as much (警察などへの)密告,告訴(状) on it as possible.

4. Use land 名簿(に載せる)/表(にあげる)ing 機関s:?There is no service that collects planning data in a 判型 suitable for people 追跡(する)ing for a 選び出す/独身 陰謀(を企てる) to build their own home, but there are some specialist 機関s - such as Homebuilding & Renovating's plotfinder.逮捕する -?that collect (警察などへの)密告,告訴(状) from 私的な individuals selling land and 広い地所 スパイ/執行官s and make it 利用できる to 加入者s to the service.

5. Visit plannin g departments: If anyone wishes to get planning 是認 to build on a piece of land, they must 服従させる/提出する an 使用/適用, which then becomes a 事柄 of public 記録,記録的な/記録する. Many 会議s now publish them on their websites.?What you are looking for is 最近の 使用/適用s. A 陰謀(を企てる) will not usually be advertised for sale until the planning 是認 has been 認めるd, because this 高めるs the value, and, if someone 位置/汚点/見つけ出すs it 早期に enough, they can make an approach before many others are even aware that it is going to be for sale.

6. Speak to 広い地所 スパイ/執行官s:?Phone them 定期的に, and, if possible, visit them 同様に. This is an area of the market where getting friendly スパイ/執行官s onside will really 支払う/賃金 off.

7. Be innovative: Your dream 陰謀(を企てる) may 現在/一般に have planning 許可 for a house you would never consider building. When turning pieces of spare land into building 陰謀(を企てる)s, a developer will often 服従させる/提出する 計画(する)s for the least 議論の的になる 選択 ーするために get the 輪郭(を描く) planning 是認. You may be able to 昇格 this planning 是認 to the 肉親,親類d of house you want.

8. Watch out for big landowner sales: There are all sorts of 会・原則s, organisations and companies that own land and sell some off periodically - they 含む the 鉄道 管理/経営 団体/死体, universities, 伝統的な landowners like the Duchy of Cornwall, the coal 当局, and 地区 and 郡 会議s. It is a long 過程 接触するing all of them, but if you can keep abreast of the 地元の and 地域の news, you may discover one of them is 申し込む/申し出ing 小包s of land.
