Well done...
Is it really cheaper if you build your own...What sort of budget are you working with....sorry to be nosey..??? But I quite like the idea of a self build..

Congratulations! We just heard today that the sellers of the block we're after won't come anywhere near our third offer, so it's back to the drawing board!

Good luck to you also!

Like you, we spent many months looking at established homes, and decided that to get exactly what we wanted, we would have to build.

How does it feel now having your own bit of OZ. Well the top layer anyhow
I reckon that you have a great spot. Place that I could have settled in easily...
