Finding a suitable plot (or property for conversion) is one of the biggest challenges for self-builders as demand generally exceeds supply. It might involve:
*Advertising.
*Registering with estate agents, land agents and local authorities.
*Using online search sites.
*Offering a finder’s fee to property professionals.
*Joining a self-build forum.
*Considering land or property owned by family members.
*Approaching owners of land designated for residential use in local development plans.
*Analysing aerial photography and large-scale maps which might reveal potential infill plots such as large back gardens, waste ground or brownfield sites.
*Poorly built, low-value properties that might be worth purchasing for their land value.

Be on the alert for possible scams, and keep in mind the phrse ‘buyer beware’.

Key to the process is ensuring that the requirements for the site and the criteria for evaluating them are properly defined.

In considering different potential plots, it is important to assess:
*Compatibility with the requirements set out in the brief.
*The likelihood of planning permission being granted (if it has not been already) including possible objections from interested parties. Some sites are offered with outline planning permission, and without this, or detailed planning permission, the site may not be a developable plot. Proceeding with such a plot is taking a risk that the vendor did not consider worth pursuing. However, plots with permission are likely to be more expensive.
*The date of any planning consent. Construction of a development must begin within three years of a planning approval, and reserve matters applications (applications giving details following an outline planning permission) must be made within three years of the outline approval.
*The planning history of the plot.
*Future developments planned in the area that might impact upon the proposed plot.
*Uses of adjoining land.
*The desirability of the location in terms of transport links, access to schools, shops and other amenities.
*The exact boundaries.
*Ease of access onto the site.
*Site orientation (relative to the sun, views, prevailing wind and so on).
*Land topography, levels and flood risk.
*Availability or proximity of utilities (such as electricity, gas, water, drainage and telecoms). The cost of bringing utilities to a sites will depend on the distance from existing connections and can be very expensive.
*Price in relation to the budget.
*Stamp duty land tax.
*Legal complexities, such as listed buildings, conservation areas, access restrictions, boundaries, party walls, easements, restrictive covenants, tree preservation orders and so on. See Technical due diligence for more information.
*The presence of protected species such as great crested newts or controlled species such as Japanese knotweed.
*Obstructions and old foundations which may need to be removed.
*Whether there is any contaminated land.
*The suitability of ground conditions for supporting a building.
*The possible layout of accommodation on the site.
*The likely value of the completed development.

In the case of conversion of existing property it is important to:
*Investigate the planning history and status of the property.
*Arrange a survey.
*Discuss proposals with a local authority planning officer.
