Our total costs on top of the house price is £33k.

And without being rude in any way, your's is hardly a high value move. No wonder people are staying put.

You'll be lucky to get any real discounts if it's at foundation stage, as has been said, no guarantee of completion.

If it's a completed box, different matter altogether.

How about field stage? That is what ours was

ETA-this development has had a shed & water butt as standard from day 1-part of the planning deal with the council.

Yeah, but you're only allowed to keep your bike in the shed, you know?

Did you get the full package of composting bin, bog that won't flush and shower that takes 30 minutes to flow enough water to actually wet the whole of your body, too?

We're equally keen to get sales from plan. In fact, these days, we have very, very few 'stock' plots on any of our sites; we've sold everything that was on stock when the downturn started to bite, and these days we generally only commence a plot when we have a buyer (apart from the odd plot we build for stock for practical/logistical reasons).

Thankfully no, the full blown eco shat is on the other side of town. Nice double garages and driveways, not anti car street parking
