A self-build home revolution is to be kickstarted in England, with a scheme to make the process more affordable.
The Help to Build scheme, supported by more than £150 million in Government funding, aims to make it easier for people to build their own homes or have them made to order.
The Government estimates that self and custom building could deliver 30,000 to 40,000 new homes a year.
Made-to-order homes allow people to customise a property to fit their needs.
This could include more office space for home workers, or another particular design to support a family’s requirements, including layouts which suit the needs of disabled or older people.
