40 foot x 27 foot. A 3 bedroom house. You can have one buillt using timber
frame for 80K inc two bathrooms and all fitted out.
Sounds the complicated difficult way. It probably would be better
demolishing. In 99% of cases it is.

Roughly what would demolishion cost? 20k? I have no idea.
As I've said in a nother post it seems unlikely that a demolishion would be
allowed, alothugh adding another storey would! The end effect is the same so
you wonder why demolishion/rebuild wouldn't be allowed. Oh well, I'll find
all this out for definite in the next few months!

If the site were vacant would it be easier to get a new house up?
There are ways of making a site vacant (roofless, dereliction, fire, unsafe
structure, demolition ...) but it'll add a couple of years delay to the
schedule.

Anything from 600-1,000 for a bungalow. That is no ripping out the
foundations. The groundworkers for the new house probably would do that.

Wow, I was well off the mark then!
Anyway, it's all academic now as once again we have been gazumped, the offer
was accepted on Saturday and another mystery offer was put in this morning
higher than ours with no chain, EXACTLY the same circumstances with teh
first property we offered on. Makes you wonder if it's worth the stress
etc........
Thanks for all the advice though, I'm sure to need more when I find another
house I want to put an offer in on!
