Just out of interest, like, does anyone know how much it costs to build
a house on a plot that you own in England, or anywhere I can find
something like a guesstimated cost per square whatever for building a
bungalow?

There are plenty of references to costs in Leftpondia, but nowt I can
find for this side of the herring pond.

I'm in the market for somewhere to live, and there are a couple of empty
plots nearby.

If it comes up almost as cheap as buying somwehere older and doing it
up, I'd maybe prefer it.

"It's perfectly possible to build a three-bed home for around £150,000."

Well unless that's including the cost of the land that's very much on the
high side, so of course "it's perfectly possible". It's possible to do it
for half that.
