Finding the Ideal Property

The journey of finding the ideal self-build plot can be lengthy and challenging, as demonstrated by the experience of locating a suitable property. The focus was on a Victorian stone barn conversion that was in ruins but offered great potential. It took four years of searching through platforms like Rightmove and Zoopla, while adhering to specific criteria that included the ability to work remotely and live on-site comfortably during the renovation. The lesson learned emphasizes the importance of having clear expectations and being mindful of what is truly desired in a property to save time and mitigate frustration.
