An Introduction to self build

2. What's this all about

 

You have options

This website reads like a book, and is designed to quickly let you find out what self build is all about.

At the top of the page you will see you have a button to go back to the home page, or first page. 

Another button takes you from this small fast site to a far larger site with more information on it than in most books.  If you have decided that self build is for you this will be a lot of help, but requires time to read.

Of course if you are already familiar with the content of this small fast site you may want to move directly on to the larger site.

We also have other sites to help you if you want to build a home or holiday home in another country. More options are also below.

What's this all about.

The process is quite painless, 

  • You decide with help what it is that you want to build, the layout, style, and area, work out what your budget is, and work out what else you want to read up on.
  • With help you find a building plot, sometimes with other members, and buy it with a mortgage, of usually up to 95% of the land price.
  • You decide the design for sure, get drawings made, complete planning and building regulation formalities.
  • Decide to use a project manager or to mange it yourself.
  • Materials are sourced, various tradesmen booked.
  • The build if managed to completion, stage payments coming from the mortgage to 95% of build cost.
  • You move into your new home, remortgage if you want to, to 95% for the higher completed value.

Time taken from 8 months to 1.5 years in most cases.
