Even more frustrating is that they film it in HD but dont broadcast it that way!

So previously we made our offer of $396k for a house we were interested. The owners are still saying NO deal but the house has yet to be sold....so we are in a holding patter which is fine with us.

In the meantime our brochure is trying to 'convince' us to consider buying land and building. We are definitely open to the idea and to be honest didn't realise it could work out cheaper for us.

The question i have though is that because we are living in Clare a lot of the land we have seen is somewhat 'hilly' with smaller areas of flat land. If we found a land based on a hill that had a flat surface, is it our responsibility to measure the amount of 'flat' surface that a house could be built on or would that be something the builders or real estate agents would do.

I hope that makes some sense.

It would help everyone if you had a rough idea of what size house you would like. It's then up to the experts to assist you in making it work.

I would get a rough idea what you want in a house then go looking for a patch of dirt to build on. Once you have a block then narrow down the house design.

Thanks mate

I guess for us the acerage/hectares is more important than the house itself. With the misses being a horse girl our priority is the land and then we are happy to skimp on the house somewhat.

Is it rural land outside of town? They may be some significant costs in getting the utilities connected which may put a stop to the idea straight up, personally Id speak directly with a builder and they should be able to guide you, especially if they want the sale.

One thing I learnt working in the Adelaide Hills and dealing with horse lovers with lifestyle properties, horse's chew a lot of cash!

Oh yeah, lots of cash needed, it is a lifestyle for sure but in fairness to my partner she doesn’t smoke, she doesn’t but mimco bags, she doesn’t nightclub etc so you have to some hobby.

All the land we would look at needs to have the ability to connect power cheaply for sure.

That’s brilliant.

When my misses had her baby shower she opened up a gift from a group of friends to see it was a Mimco nappy bag. Legit all her other friends started screaming and wanting to touch the bag etc etc like females do.

Her bestie had to whisper in her ear that it was Mimco.

2 years on apparently the bag isn’t very practical so the only time she uses it is when she sees that friendship group who bought it for her lol
