Whatever it is at top side of £200k per property - even if half is for communal facilities etc, it 's still way over the odds as far as I can see, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But don't forget with any big project like this, there's lots of prep work in the background before any spades start hitting the ground. There's all the costs of consultancy, design, planning, architects, plant, utilities, surveyors, insurances, legal fees, project management, contracting, procurement.... That 200k per house is not simply for materials and labour. Edited April 20 by ECCOnoob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
