Not easy buying a smalll piece of land these days and any in a decent area won't be cheap a plot in North Leeds was advertised for a million a couple of years ago.But you do get value for money if you build a house yourself think they reckon you save about 30% on the equivalent bought one. There are self build mags available that give info on plots and plans/kits for houses.

Try this site http://www.plotfinder.net/
This will give you an idea of prices in your area.
Any plot with planning permission will set you back a fair bit. If land is for sale without planning permission chances are you wont get planning for it so it's best to avoid it.
However, planning laws are changing, it is becoming easier to get permission to build so a site that has no chance of PP at the moment might be totally different in 5 years time.
What you get for £100k entirely depends on how much of the work you do yourself.
I've almost completed my self build, should be ready to move in by the end of the month (fingers crossed). It's been a very interesting journey, stressful at times but well worth it

Land price for building on changes in location. When we bought our fitst house, it was built by a local company who were building in two locations separated by about six miles. Both outside Scunthorpe.
One cost £13,500, the other £11,500.
The difference was land prices, the houses were identical, and, if anything, the dearer house ALSO had the smaller garden.
