We will definitely be in it before it’s finished.
We were hoping to get to a stage where we could get our certificate of habitation. But with all these price increases were not sure we can get to wind & water tight before the money has run out. I lie, we know we can’t.
When we started this we were working on £1500 per square meter. Probably reduced that to £1200 as we were doing most of it ourselves. That was doable. Prices now for a very basic build ( which ours is ) £2500 per square meter. Obviously we’re far to far in to stop. But we are also well and truly ****ed.
On the bright side. It’s ours, we have no mortgage, and it will get done eventually! The garden will be very well established by time the house is finished ( I really wish I was joking) .
