That price is so vague it is not worth considering.

If I had said £30.00 to £3,000 per sq m that would have been vague.
£750 on the other hand is not vague at all but quite precise.

£750 for what? You have to know the size, construction type and fitments to
have a firm figure.



Of course you do, but the OP is not expecting a precise figure for
building this hypothetical house which he has not even designed yet.

£750 per sq.m. is a fair ball park figure for him to work with, as is
£73 per sq.ft.. If his spec is better, or worse, than the typical, he
will have to alter the figure accordingly.

The above suggests that a typical reasonably sized 1200sq.ft. house
would cost around £90,000 to build. Add this to the land cost, factor in
where you live in the meantime, and the hassle, and you can make a
decision as to whether to take it further, or consign the idea to the
bin.
