    Hi just at planning stage of a self build! I am being gifted a site from my parents which is less than an acre and just wondering what's fees I should expect from an engineer to mark out the site and for a solicitor to transfer the site into our name! Any advice greatly appreciated! Thanks

    Depend on location and size of site.
    Best to ring 3 engineeers, give them your location and size of plot and let them quote.

    I was gifted a site two years ago for a self build. As far as I recall i gave a solicitor 3200 to change over the site. You'll need two solicitor. That included stamp duty and all associated fees.

    I gave an engineer 1800 to mark out the site, sign off for stage payments and do the completion cert.

    It was a little bit quieter when I was doing it. I suggest getting at least three prices for anything you do.

    You won't get any engineer to map a site as well as inspect and certify a houses construction for 1800 anymore. The regulations and the market have thankfully changed a lot since then.
