decorators londonOther Things to Consider Other things to take into account when making plans for the new cottage home include: * Check all local building codes, and zoning laws that determine what you can build, as well as where you can build it. * If the new cottage home will be your primary residence, you may qualify for a GST (goods and services tax) rebate. * Cottage house plan kits are available, an option that can help cut down on costs. This also allows the do-it-yourselfer to save even more money by doing some or all of the building. * Before selecting cottage site, find out what the property taxes will be.
