How to Find and Buy a Building Plot: A Step-by-Step Guide to Acquiring the Right Land, with the Right Permissions, at the Right Price

"How to Find and Buy a Building Plot" is the first and only comprehensive book specifically about buying land on which to build a house. It gives you all the essential information you need to locate, assess and purchase a plot. With over 65 illustrations, tables and examples, this book is the first and only one to deal with this key subject head on. Although written in unequivocally clear and accessible style, it is of as much benefit to professionals as it is to the tens of thousands of families who begin land-searching each year. Written by planning consultants Roy Speer & Mike Dade this is a fully revised third edition of the book.
