Life really is a balance isn’t it? There’s always good and bad. We found out the problem where the neighbour had, apparently, built on our land by 4.5cm isn’t a problem any more and the house can be built as we wanted. I’m still not sure if he is over our the boundary or not, we find that out tomorrow. Of course now we get the go ahead we also get the bad news. The tender document arrived last night and the projected cost is 10% above what we expected thanks to site issues (primarily rock removal, levelling and deeper foundations).
Arrrgghhhh!
So we are faced with the question – can we afford to build now? At the same time, given the crazy prices in the property market, can we afford not to?
