The Government’s Help to Buy
scheme is available to use when
purchasing a custom build home,
giving first-time buyers access to their
perfect home from the outset.
Rather than using their first home
as a way to get on the property
ladder, first-time buyers are given the
opportunity to create a long-term
home that can grow with them.
Graven Hill, a self-build and custom
new build housing development in
Bicester, has embraced the benefits
that custom building has to offer.
Here, creating a custom build new
home begins with picking a site.
People can then choose the house and
layout, and floorplans are allocated to
plots in keeping with their size.
In comparison to other new build
homes, custom building gives
people control over the layout of
the property and the all-important
finishes, allowing the rest to be left to
professionals.
Completion time varies from property
to property, as houses can be bought
at different stages.
Generally, the earlier a purchaser gets
involved in the process, the more
options they have.
However, some custom builds can be
completed in just a matter of months.
Building houses of quality rather than
quantity could be the solution to the
housing crisis in the long run.

The accessibility and individuality
of custom builds means that no-
one is cut off from owning a home
they want to live in for many years.
Instead of hopping from house to
house, people can grow in a home
they’ve designed for themselves.
