What is Self Build?
‘Self Build' is when you secure the rights to a building plot in order to build a house for you to live in. A self build project encompasses a wide range of activities and skills from managing, designing and building the whole house. Planning the process carefully is critical. Bulleted below are the major steps in the self build process from the conception through to the finished product:
- Find a building plot
- Evaluate building plot
- Self Build mortgages
- Construction options
- Self Build design options
- Planning permission
- Building control and regulations
- Self Build Insurance
- Self Build house warranties
- Self Build VAT
Before embarking on your project you need to be clear about your reasons for self build and be aware that the self build process is likely to cause stress and have unforeseen difficulties – so make sure you and your family are prepared for it.
