The negative thing about this housing subdivision is there is no paved road and storm drains. I see electric power poles and electricity is available, however, I doubt if there is a provision of potable water system in the area. Without that, each housing resident has to drill and install deep well and elevated water tanks. One draw back for the deep well is, if the the subdivision are fully filled with houses, which each housing resident uses and utilizes U/G SEPTIC Tanks which sip into the deep well water supply and contaminates with harmful bacteria and cause health problems.
looks like it will become a nice house. my mahal is not far from Ormoc. (Brgy . Lamanoc). we've been togeather almost 8 years. Sadly I can never visit the Philippines or retire there now because of recent law changes. pray someday I can bring her to the usa. Enjoyed your video.
Hi Adam and Jane, suggest you spend some time on researching hot climate house design, if not too late, for comfort and power saving, white roof, reflective barrier in ceiling, wide eaves to shade windows particularly on east and western sides, large opening windows for ventilation, outside window louvres for shade on east and west facing, as much shade as possible, open floor plan design for through ventilation, white external walls.......
Yep just starting the same thing. Got some property about 5km North of ormoc surrounded by rice fields nice n quite there.we got a 1000sm lot n r bying the other 1000sm lot next to it at the end of the year.Me n da wife just left there last week n loking forward to a early semi retirement there within 3.5 yrs when our daughter is old enough to start private school there. Good luck there n if u c a 2008 black Ford crown Victoria police interceptor speeding down highway that would b me.
Nice video always interesting to see people building their homes here in the Philippines , We built our house in Manila when we moved from north east England 8 years ago best decision we have ever made to get out of the rat race.
Adam and Jane: UK and Philippines Life building the house was OK but you've got to have Patience, and keep in charge of the money can be frustrating at times.
If that is built in the eastern side of Leyte, finished house (tiled floors, well painted, fixtures on, perimeter fence, etc) of that size and architectural design might costs the owner around 4.5M pesos to say, 6M, that is, excluding the cost of the residential lot, or say approximately 80K to 100K pounds. Nice design and excellent location!
I believe you posted that you would share the design and costs later on. Great... We have a home in Talisay and land in Barili. (Cebu). How did you find the builder you can trust. Especially since you don't live there full time. Construction workers are known to cut corners especially on cement work. Having the wrong mix can be deadly. Enjoy the project ;-)
Hi and thanks for posting video,I hope that one day i will be retiring to Phil ,Yep simple but hard life is ok..Spend 6 months there and 6 months in USA.. Well its a plan i guess and i do have a few contacts in Phil..
Hi Mike, thank you for watching and good luck with your plan. I'm sure it will work out :) which part of the Philippines? We have subscribed to your channel. Love your videos!
Thank you i appreciate it,Well ive only been to the areas from Manila up to Bagio but there is more to see so im still researching.Thaks and i look forward to communicating and seeing more of your videos.
Hi Adam.im new to yoyr channel and like you im from the uk living in Australia with my philippino wife and we also are having a house built on mactan island and will move in December this year .Looking forward to your future clips
Nigel Curnow Hi Nigel thanks for visiting our channel. That's nice you are moving in the Philippines for good? We hope to move soon as we finish the house. Cebu Mactan is about 2 hours from Ormoc by Ferry. We have new video of our house ruclips.net/video/nhvWCAcv2qQ/видео.html
Bon in Sunderland lived most of my life away from home last 25+ years in SW London. i built a plywood house with bamboo as decorative facing, 2 floors ground was big lounge dinner and kitchen with cr, upstairs was 2 bedrooms with full cr, i did everything and total cost was 225k, i sold the lumber after 4 yeas for 125k, now living in Bauang LaUnion.
We are living in the UK at the moment but we will be back in the Philippines in March for 1 month. We also built our house in the Philippines 2 years ago. How long do you plan to finish your house?
Thats great :) We hope to be back in the Philippines soon. We saw your videos. The house is very nice! We hope to finish ours within the next couple of years.
Thanks for watching our video. We will update some bits and pieces in our house especially painting on the outside walls and finish the balcony. We will also update our house video once we are back in the Philippines. Regarding your house, I am sure it will turn out beautiful; but watch out as leaving the house unfinished for a long time might weaken the foundation because of rain water and damp.
To all foreigners and locals who wants to build a house in the Philippines I would like to say never build a house without a thorough and proper contract with the builders. Try to avoid those workers who are paid on a "daily" basis,. Also its possible to do your own material procurement yourself. It's quite a work but the savings is worth it. You can also mix contractors like one contractor will build the structure and the other one will build the finishing. Like in my case I left all the windows and had a cheaper glass aluminum window maker that did it for us.
We just started our house build in February. Set up a channel here as well to document all the steps necessary to build a house here in the Philippines. If you get a chance, please stop by "My PI Dream" and if you have any recommendations from your experience building here it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks ~James
+My PI Dream we have subscribed to your channel. You have some great videos and will watch all the steps to building a house. Good luck and keep in touch 😊
Cool video! I retired recently and I'm considering moving to the Philippines. That is a large house! How many beds and baths? Square meters? Looking forward to your updates. Well done!
Good luck with your house guys, I have a few ex pat mates renting somewhere around Deloris. My wife and I have a house in Camella homes Tambulilid. Might see you down at Lorenzos sometime.
Nice house..I was looking for some property near Ormoc. Can you recommend a plot I can buy?? I'm in the states now but my family lives south of Albuera Leyte, I don't like that area because of internet and phone service is not that good...Like your video!! By the way is your wife have any single sisters..lol!! Just asking!!
Hi,thanks for watching. We will be putting up an update very soon. The plot is 500 sq meters. 1,000 sq meters will be very big :) We will update on the costings etc in the next one :)
People like you have never been to the philipines it a different lifestyle get over it by the way the guys wear flipflops when working I gess you will lose sleep now
Well...Beautiful Couple, Beautiful House...and for those who worry: if you marry a Filipina girl and have a Kid, and later on something happens to the relationship, at least you have an offspring who will inheritance the property and will still call you Dad...flesh from your flesh...
nice house.. but too expensive materials and stuff and so far quite a lot because you build a big house.. since but might be great House after.. God bless.. ☺ newbie subscriber
I'm amazed that given the high intelligence and incredible math aptitude of people in the philippines. They can not build a staircase. Every step is a different size as the last. Don't they have a tape measure?
interesting video....nice house....hopefully you learned about the property laws in the Philippines before you invested in such a big house .....she seems really happy in this video knowing this house is all hers....and you have no say in it once its built .....interesting as to why would you throw away your money like that .......reason am commenting about this ...known a few who did what you did....only to get put out once the purchase was completed......

Why you guys are so demanding here.....they are old enough what will happened them life that's not our business.... not all pilipina are desame....don't you hear guys he asking her about how many years you earn money for this house 🏡 so ibig sabihin hnd pira nang lalaki yun ...pira po nang babae yan ..... but I'm happy for them.... your house is near to my house Kabayan Keep it up....
Sincerely hope your family is out of quarantine soon and are able to be in your super nice home- We wish you all the best!

nice video and build. try to plant what trees you want now. eg. coconut, mango, etc. so when you are ready to semi retire, they are ready for fruits
zeineguy Good idea 😊
Really liked the music at the end..
Do you have to survey the soil sample before building? Do you have to build your own septic tank? Thanks
Yes, lots to do before building and we have a private septic tank.
Lovely house in beautiful Philippines ❤️❤️❤️❤️
