How do you cost a new build house realistically?
Everyone I talk to has gone over budget which makes me want to downscale my plans. However that seems to defeat the object…
I want to build a timber framed house approx 1700sq ft 4 bed 2 bath with brick and tile finish.
I already have the land…My partner and I can do a lot of the painting / tiling and labour work so we can save a bit of cash.
Is £100,000 maximum realistic for the North of England including all major works, kitchen and bathroom fittings?
Or do I shelve the project?

A good way to make it work:
Look at your budget and add an extra 10%. Even if you don’t go over, you’ll be covered. Random things ARE going to happen, even if you aren’t prepared.
