Green field sites

Our corner of rural France is changing. On 1st October 2007 the house building regulations changed, and this largely means more paperwork.. we are not surprised !!..
There is more and more building land for sale, and at between 5 and 20 euros per metre squared it is possible to find, quite literally a green field upon which to build the perfect home.
Construction companies make it easy for individuals to build their own home and each company has about 50 or 60 different house designs and layouts to suit every requirement and budget.
Therefore in theory it is possible to buy the perfect field and pick up the keys for your new house a year later.... of course making sure that you have first completed all of the paperwork, understand all the small print and have the necessary insurances in place !!
