My top tip for anyone building, renovating or just interested in their home is to pick through this little known Government website. It is awesome, and there is certainly much to read in depth and some to just skim over. Your taxes paid for this excellent resource, so you might as well use the s-h-i-t out of it. It will probably save you making at least one big mistake, and lead to a more comfortable home and probably save you money in the process.
