If you think house prices are a joke now, just wait 2-3 years. I'm actually a structural engineer with a passion for passive houses and went into programming 8 years ago. I designed and built a lot of houses and I know what you're talking about.. the house builders chase profits disregarding any laws. IMHO the best thing is to buy a lot and build yourself the house, this way you are sure that you get what you want.
