I’m lucky to have bought a house in a south city housing estate with an enormous side garden. Im now hoping to build on that and sell the lot on. But im completely inexperienced in this area.
Have had 2 architects look at the site and quote me for plans. One of them suggests that he may get 2 houses on the site but is quoting 5.5K for outline planning. Sounds expensive but i like his idea of fitting two houses in. Could be very lucritive. But could be big risk. Also id need to get full planning then to build. But he is very experienced and its going through his company.
The other will draw full plans for 2K but for one house as he thinks only one house will be approved. He is doing it as a nixer. The difference in price is huge.
I think i may need a third quote. Should i look to an engineer maybe? Or another architect?
Any advice at all would be great thanks.
