An end terrace has come up for sale across the road which has a large lawn area to the side of it. It has always struck me as wasted space and i'm now thinking that maybe there's a way that I could buy the house and build on the land.
I've never done anything like this before. Our house is worth around £50,000 more ( 4 beds rather than 2 ) so we would need to downsize and live in a cramped, dusty building site for a few months and use the spare cash for building perhaps a 3 bed house on the land. I'd then plan to sell both homes and move to somewhere lovely with the extra money made.
Am I nuts to consider this? Has anyone done anything like it?
