I'm thinking hard about our self-build: I've the makings of a design and a budget. Like most budgets, it's more than I thought at the start - so be it.
But I was wondering about re-sale value. This could be our last van, seeing us well into our 70s when realistically something might happen to make us have to give up and sell.
In peoples' experience, what sort of re-sale value do you get with a self-build? I'm sure it's sensitive to lots of assumptions, so here are a few: let's suppose I do a decent job, it looks smart, has properly spec'ed gas and electrics and is on a base vehicle with plenty of life left in it. It's a conventional size, shape and colour. And so on - i.e. there's nothing particularly quirky about it to put anyone off, though obviously it will be exactly how we want it and not quite like a layout you might buy, perhaps.
Have people who've sold their self-build been happy with the price they got or disappointed? And how did you sell - ebay, Autotrader etc?
Thanks
