What’s your reason for self building?
What is the main motivation for self building? Is it the chance to get that perfect family home? Could it be a stepping stone to making money as a small-time developer? Or is it a way to obtain a cheap property when everything else is unaffordable?
I come across all of these reasons for creating your own house, but if I’m honest, it’s the first of these that floats my boat. Despite my position as a self build consultant, I’ve only ever created one dwelling for myself and the family – all the rest of the projects I’ve been involved with have been for others. I do get asked why I haven’t done it again, and there’s a simple answer: I don’t need to.
