I've previously come across a rule of thumb that, for a self-build project, roughly a third of the end value is in the purchase price of the plot, roughly a third in the building costs, and roughly a third is the value added. Not sure how valid that was back in the UK, but is there any similar rule of thumb for self build in Thailand?

That would all depend on where you buy the land.Prices vary a lot.

My house (yes i know)is only a fraction of what the land is worth.

Glad we settled that.

if you are trying to value for resale, it is a real <deleted> shoot. Land tends to increase in value, houses decrease... depending on where you build and what you create may or may not increase..

 

Thai people like to build new... where I am now, there are many many moo Bahn houses for sale and not many people buy them.. lots of overstock in name areas...
