Hi Harry, we are very new to London. Trying to build our dream from scratch like the way we do back home (India) could you please guide us from finding a piece of land to actual construction. Thank you

Does danwood do a cost without carpets, tiles and all the fittings? I just want the shell and I can do the rest. More about timescales to build up to water tight structure.

Much appreciated, Harry! Your experiences are of great value to us!

Its mad how deep foundations have to be these days. Your house is prefab wood and composite I assume? No bricks or concrete. I had to dig foundations for our orangery that went over half a meter deeper than the 2 story house, that's been stood there for over a hundred years....

Lovely home! So is there a breakdown of total cost anywhere? I am guessing, all up, including the land it was around £500k? I can't see a garage? Is there anywhere to store stuff or have you managed to streamline your life? I know junk has a habit of filling all available spaces!

Lol what a sellout

Very useful:-)

Hi Harry, is there any chance to come along and talk to you about your experience you had face to face? This weekend?

A "Dream Home" for many of us, I totally love it, the interior is so beautiful, mine is just bog standard, Would love to know where you bought the three ring design light you have in the kitchen area??

I'm just about to start our groundwork on Monday, and then onwards to the house build, we have watched every post of Harry's progress, and so looking forward to videoing our project.

Thank you very much Harry. We are just beginning the Danwood process. It is very exciting. Your videos have put my mind at ease about a few of my worries.

Great to see your seat of the pants experience for my budget planning so thanks for the insights. Still waiting for the plot to come up....

I am sure that you answered this elsewhere, assuming that you are comfortable doing so, but altogether how much did the project cost broken down by land cost, foundations cost, and build cost? Thanks so much

We built a Dan-wood house in West Lothian Scotland and on top of the planning fees we had to pay a so called donation of £14,000 towards local facilities like a new school. Our foundations cost £73,000.

Oops..hit Return before I had corrected the text..but I think you get the picture.

Superb series of videos Harry. Thank you. I'm at the very start of the Process and despite goold old Google cannot find a list of European if there is a site that list alternatives to Dan- Wood. If not, who did you look at before deciding on Dan-Wood?

As ever. You deliver excellence. An inspiration to anyone wanting to do a self build. Just about the only high quality information people need to engage in their journey. I think you are one more personal video away from completing the journey we have all been honoured to share! Thank you.❤😊

So glad I have found your channel! Is your neighbours house a 189e?

Thank you for posting your reflections on the build, Harry. I have followed you avidly through the process and watched how the process transformed into the house that you now enjoy. Your faith in Danwood UK has been unwavering, and it is fabulous to see the outcome.

We have loved watching your journey. We sold our own property last year and are renting while we search for a suitable plot. We hope to do something along the same lines as yourself. We would be interested to know what the running costs/annual kW consumption of your Danwood home is, maybe you could share this in a future video :) Looking forward to seeing your interior design and landscaping tips!

I saw the same video on the official Danwood channel, and was wondering when you'd post more content. I'm looking forward to the videos on interior design and landscaping tips. Will you do a final Q&A video for any subjects that might not have been covered in previous videos?

Hello my man! Looks awesome! I think I commented this before but this is so weird seeing you here since I saw you on The Nanny when I was a kid lol. I wanna write and direct movies eventually and I’d love to work with someone like you! 😊

Wow this is surreal! I saw you on the Nanny as a kid lmao. Hope all’s still going well with this house! I’m gonna go back thru your old videos and see what’s what :)

Hey Harry. It’s been 9 months since your last post. Do you plan to do any more ? I have just purchased a plot of land and starting the journey you took. Did you ever share any of your excel documents for costs and tracking ?

Hello, Could I please have your architect details? Thanks so much 😊

Wow! Truly amazing to watch Harry, thank you. And both your smiles say it all. 👏👏👍👌

Well done for keeping your sense of humour re the trees roots and increased costs 👍 Great series of videos to date. Thank you for sharing your journey👌

Hedge hogs 🤣🤣 Brilliant, just got to love the bureaucracy 😬

3 months to find the land Harry! Outstanding work 👏👏 Along with finding a plot that has your Architect as a neighbour. We all make our own luck 👍

Why it is, after 3 years of watching u tube, I have just come across your channel! We found land earlier this year and this was definitely the most soul destroying exercise I’ve ever put either of us through. However, that’s behind us now. Looking forward to watching your series. Thank you for taking the time to share your experiences 👍

If you have gas in 12 months time you will be billed £500 tax a year you need to be 100 percent

Water is the only eventual everything else can be overcome

I had an architect work for £180 for 2 days a grade 2 listed garden wall. My original quote was £67/ hr plus vat and threats of suing for late payment

Potton self build are also explaining things

Adverse possession property?

Hi, great channel! Very much enjoyed and learned a huge amount from watching your videos. You mentioned there’s a charge for the doors opening outward vs inward - how much was the charge per door please?

Hi Harry, Sorry to hear about the bereavement in your family- looking forward to seeing the next video - we are at the stage of finishing electrics/ picking tiles/ flooring etc so any tips would be most welcome! Thanks Catriona

It would be lovely to have a video of everything done and your thoughts Harry now a little time has passed and I assume you are settled. You are many people's RUclips hero on this subject. I think it would only be fair and give your audience what they want sir. Thank you for the entire journey. You have provided my best RUclips experience ever.❤

Will you make a new video

It is easy to give a fixed price when you are expensive as you can absorb material and labour inflation.

thanks for the great info...please may i ask did your house come with a fitted kitchen in the turnkey price? thanks in advance

Love the series. Quick question - I’m assuming the Dan Wood turnkey price (as seen online) does not include 20% Vat. If it doesn’t, how much of the turnkey cost can be refunded (as it’s a self build). My understanding is only materials can be claimed - not services?

❤😊

My God, it's Lord Osric of Crosley from Dragonheart. 😁

Hello Again Harry I have another quick question…. Can you still claim Vat back on all the material costs. ??

Thanks for sharing this Harry. it’s been educational and inspiring.. I would love to know the total cost compared with current value now that it’s finished. Hake much equity is there in the house now. I listened to a podcast quiet some years ago now that said you could gain 20 to 30%

£500 planning cost - South Norfolk council took 6 months. For basic casement windows on a small flat. Absolutely disgraceful!

This is really helpful. I am having a site survey but am pretty sure my site won’t have enough access sadly …

Great video man! 👏

Hi Harry, I have found your video series extremely helpful, thank you. We are planning to build 2 Danwood homes in our garden and I would be grateful if you could let me know the best way to contact you to obtain the details of your architect please?
