Do you really have to live in a sub division?

hi penny so what advice would you give really , buy a lot then build or buy a place already done, say i have 30,000 pounds to spend

IMHO and honest answer for that is to buy a lot then build the house of your dream.
But you need to be there as well to monitor everything whilst under construction.

Buy house and lot if developers has good reputation in their projects done.
Zobel de Ayala family has the best reputation among all developers.
Some of their projects are Ayala Malls, Ayala Center where Greenbelt is located.
Makati was part of Rizal Province before.
Ayala made the greatest contribution to Makati to become a city ages ago.
Ayala also developed Ayala Alabang, Santa Rosa and other parts of Philippines.
They are well known for its upscale residential projects as well.
But then other developers also agrees to change their materials in favour of buyers.
The advantage of being first buyer is you can change some housing materials whilst under construction.

With your £ 30,000, You can buy 160 lot close to Tagaytay and build 3 bedrooms simple bungalow with your money.

Or you can buy first class house and lot property with that amount.

You have two choices which I can offer you both.
