Just what is self build? Read on to discover a new way to create the home of your dreams.
Self building homes is just as simple as it sounds: a home you build yourself. So what is new about that? Well, there’s nothing new in the concept, but recent changes to the nation’s planning regulations means that land which was previously unavailable for residential development is now available to self-builders.
The government hopes that by encouraging self-building and providing access to millions of acres of undeveloped land, the nation’s economy will be strengthened, and the fragile housing market will be stabilised. Self build involves hard work, but it can also bring big rewards once the property is completed and you have a valuable asset.
