As mentioned en passant, our house caught fire about 10 days ago. It's a small bungalow, on a big plot. Too small, and (was) in need of an update.
It will get the update anyway, since it will need a new kitchen, decorating throughout, and it will get a new warm roof. But we plan to take the opportunity of the rebuild to enlarge and improve it. There are various ways of doing this including taking a cash settlement when they have worked out what our claim is worth.
There's nothing in principle to stop us demolishing and rebuilding. A reason to do that might be to build, or have built, a factory made house of some kind, from e.g. www.potton.co.uk/ (other suppliers exist).
I know next to nothing about prefabs and eco-homes, but I plan to look into it asap - the idea appeals to me.
Does anybody here have experience of this sort of thing?
