Hi,
As a novice in the house building game, apologies if these questions appear trivial. I've just this week had plans for a self-build submitted to local authority for planning permission. According to my architect, if things run smoothly, the best I can hope for is permission to be granted in approximately 3 months. Given this timeframe, I'd appreciate any advice on when I should begin looking for mortgage approval (I know - I should have researched this first but given reasonable level of savings & salary, I'm not expecting any major hitches). Furthermore, is there any value in obtaining quotes for building prior to plans being approved? Thanks in advance, fmmc
