Hmm, I still want something normal looking. .
Granny flats that are 60m2 cost about 100k to build including design/council fee's
I'd love a straw bale house. Amazing thermal qualities and some of them look beautiful.
Hey Luce
Getting finance for the land is one thing, getting finance for a completed house is another, and getting finance for a relocated house, a kit house, a straw bale house etc is a horse of a whole different colour!
If you can get the equity release funding secured against another property and then shift the new equity loans over to the property once it is completed, that would be cheaper than organising a personal loan or other short term, unsecured finance.
Anyway, you have a great idea, to make sure of the building opportunity. If you build weatherboard on stumps you could sell the house for removal later
It's a bit hard to saw a brick veneer in half and those concrete slabs are a real problem to balance on a truck when it's going around corners!
Cheers

My GF will end up costing $130k - $140k all up
Hmm, I still want something normal looking. It's true that I want something cheap, but I don't want anything unusual. It has to be easy to revalue or sell if I need to. My mum would build a mud brick yurt if I let her!
No, I want a normal house. If it's not possible to build something for $100-$150k then we'll just have to find more money. Anyhow, it's all hypothetical at this point because I don't actually have the building entitlement yet.
Haha. I knew I should have said Granny Flat and not GF. Somebody was going to assume it meant Girl Friend.
Haha- Coconutwheels is not a good username to have if you're recommending a house removalist.Check out House Moving Contractors Pty Ltd. subscribe to their email alerts for houses that come up for removal. They are not the cheapest house movers around but certainly reliable and good to deal with.

I had a 90 yr old 3brm weatherboard with renovated kitchen and bathroom, polished floor boards, moved out to country nsw for $120k. Septic,water tanks and power included in that too, plus a new front verandah and 3m deck out back.
It looks sooo much better than the alternate shoe box relocatble home for similar price.
Hi Kristine. There's no mortgage on the land. I was hoping it wouldn't be too hard to find finance to build a little house? The land is zoned rural but it's less than 5 min drive out of town. Do you think it would be hard to get building finance? I mean, assuming serviceability etc., is ok. Is it more difficult to find finance for building rural residential?
Hi Simon,I'd love a straw bale house. Amazing thermal qualities and some of them look beautiful.
$120K? Nathan Birch just got one moved for $35K! I have NO idea how that man does these things. Cheapest I've ever moved a house for is around $60 (including house, council fees, connections etc etc).
I don't think it would go far at all. Now bananawheels might be more successful.Geoff, so Coconutwheels House Removals a no go
