Indeed. But then there is the small matter of having some vision, designing it, financing it, sourcing the right materials and seeing a potentially nightmarish build through to completion.

These things explain why most people don't 'just build their own'. Otherwise, we'd all be millionaire property developers by now.

Well I'm an Interior Designer and I design Hotel Interiors for a living

so can put the drawing package together myself and use the contractors Ive used

in the past.Building my own house would be something I would do oneday probably

have to sell my place first .Maybe in a few years.The joinery work on those

two houses I have to say do look great.

Has anyone seen that the Landells Road Grand-Design house is for sale again, at ?850k. Actually, it's not clear, is this:

(a) The 'spare' house that Talisman built that has been on the market since July

(b) Ditto, but being sold on by whoever bought it after just a few weeks ownership

© Talisman's house itself.

So, what's the story?

    • In case anyone is renovating or stripping out an old kitchen, I am looking for a base kitchen unit or carcass to house an oven for a temporary set up kitchen.   Also looking for a run of worktop at least 180 cm long if anyone is disposing of something like this, I would be happy to collect.   thanks   Mila
    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
