Many builders find it easier to make a new home than renovate an older home, as there are several unknowns, more definite costs, and fewer distractions such as homeowners living in the house. However for homeowners, a complete self-build project is usually far more complicated, especially in the area of costs, this is where a Bridging Loan London in the form of short term finance can come in very handy to cover the unknowns and unexpected.
Having said that, despite the complexities included, building a house from scratch is much easier than undertaking a full refurbishment. Once you price the job, it stays on a budget because there are no unknowns and it's so much easier to plan. Still, the advantage of a bridging loan London can assist in instances that you go over budget.
You also don't have people living in the house at the same time. With a new build, provided that the groundwork and planning go well, the finish date and estimated budget can be relied upon.
For the homeowner, a complete self-build project starts with finding a plot, organizing a self-build mortgage, and securing planning permission. Cautious choice of architect, builder, and tradesmen is fundamental, as is ensuring you have insurance, warranties and that you are eligible to claim the tax back. Then the work begins.
Some of the important factors in ensuring the success of your project are good organization and courteous, flexible builders, where difficult structural decisions may have to be made.
Careful choice of the building firm will ensure that you as the homeowner will be delighted with the work. Excellent standards of workmanship, customer care from each member of the team, from foreman to apprentice and their ability to respond to each day's problems will be reflective in the budget quote, which you can have peace of mind for by taking out a bridging loan London in case your funds run out.
Another factor is getting good advice. Having chosen your building firm and specified the build of your stunning detached property for your family, you will be relying upon them particularly for guidance and advice in all phases of the building plan - from design to materials. A good relationship is paramount from the very first meeting which will fill you as the homeowner with trust and confidence in their ability and knowledge. Their help, guidance, and advice, along with their attention to detail and finish will make your dream home real.
The final factor is communication and diplomacy skills. Although you are building your dream home, during the time you are building, your neighbors will probably consider you to be a neighbor from hell. The careful approach of dealings with neighbors, particularly in busy towns and cities, can mean the difference between getting the home you want and a severe compromise. A compromise may be necessary if particular details have been overlooked during the planning stage such as the right to light for your neighbor, in which case new surveys may need to be repeated which are costly, but if a bridging loan London is taken out, such nuance costs that may arise can be dealt with swiftly.
