Purchasing garden land from a neighbor can be an advantageous solution for self-builders who wish to remain in their community. This approach minimizes disruption caused by moving, as proximity allows builders to oversee construction closely. However, it raises challenges including neighbor relations, construction disturbances, and legal complexities. Experts emphasize understanding both the implications for the host neighbor and potential objections from surrounding properties. Building locally promotes comfort in a known area, maintaining friendships, and a stable environment for families.
One major challenge is to ensure that your selling neighbours are fully aware of the implications of having a new house adjoining their garden.
Buying from a neighbour allows you to understand the position fully, as well as having a feel for aspect and local noise and so on.
