The plot and build purchase breaks down the guide price of Ashcombe Housel into two separate purchases and figures - one figure for the land and another for the build contract (the construction and completion of your home). In this instance for Ashcombe House, the land value is calculated at 950,000. Once completion on the land takes place, you would then enter into a build contract with Butler & Duke and the remaining amount to pay would be split across staged payments throughout the build. The build process is estimated to take between 12-18 months from completion of the land purchase. There are two main benefits for a purchaser using the Plot & Build method, the main one being a potential sizeable Stamp Duty saving, as you pay Stamp Duty* on the land value and not the wider, total guide price of your chosen plot - please note the developer is offering to pay your Stamp Duty costs also*. The second is having greater control over the internal fixtures and fittings, essentially allowing you to build the house of your dreams in an enviable location, without the hassle For more information and to discuss this incredible and rare opportunity further, please don't hesitate to contact Savills. -- Available plots at Yarnells Hill; Plot 1, Ashbrook House - 1,999,950 Plot 2, Ashcombe House - 2,550,000 Plot 3, The Coppice - 2,500,000 Plot 4, Highwood House - 2,950,000 Please note imagery used is indicative with some CGI's. *Subject to individual circumstances, we advise you seek further advice from your tax advisor or speak with Savills for further information. *Please note planning consent is awaited for the fourth plot at Yarnells Hill.
