Housing minister Grant Shapps has made it clear that he wants to see a self-build boom in the UK and a new package of support from Downing Street could trigger exactly that.
The Government is working to identify more land for development and has tweaked planning rules to make self-build easier. A big part of this package is a new website – selfbuildportal.org.uk – which is designed to guide prospective self-builders through the process.
Self-build is often seen as the preserve of the wealthy; those happy to spend lots of time and money on their dream home. But it can also be an affordable option for aspiring homeowners.
