SELF-BUILDERS ENJOY MORE SPACE FOR LESS BUDGET
Brits who self-build are doubling the size of their homes while paying up to a quarter ( 27 per cent ) less than the price of an existing house or new build , the latest figures show . The Self & Custom Build Market Report reveals that those who roll up their sleeves and erect their own house enjoy significantly more space and comfort of approximately 247m2 versus England ’ s average of 94m2 [ 1 ].

IN ADDITION , THE same survey , conducted by Homebuilding & Renovating , reinforces the financial benefits of opting for this route , as the significant savings self-builders can achieve through development gains , lower production costs and an element of positive house price inflation are approximately 25 per cent , with the average finished house value being £ 717,071 .
When examining how self builds compare against the average size of homes in the current market , the North East stands out as having the largest dimensions of 373m2 , followed by Northern Ireland . Expectedly , London has the smallest average at just 191m2 . Based on their UK location , the size is two or even three times bigger than the current or newly built properties .
According to Jason Orme , spokesperson for The Northern Homebuilding & Renovating Show :“ Self-builders are making the most of the market as they know the financial and practical results will be more rewarding than if they were to buy a new house . Building
your own home allows you to choose its specifications and customise it for your needs . We can confidently say – self builders appreciate their space .”
The Self & Custom Build Market Report 2017 , comprising 112 pages can be purchased online via : www . homebuilding . co . uk / market-report , priced at £ 750 + vat .
‘ Self-builders are making the most of the market as they know the financial and practical results will be more rewarding ’
