Best self builds in the UK

If you were thinking of building your own home it’s a good idea to have a look at some of the best that have been achieved in the UK over the last few years.  Awards are given out to those properties that are considered to be the Pinnacle of what self-builders are all about. In all cases you still need to have some Residential Architects, like www.quattrodesign.co.uk/, On hand to be able to make sure the property is legally sound and able to be built.  Here are some of the great examples of work that have been done by self-builders over the years.

Going back to 2013, 20-year-old Joshua Penk was able to build his  single story dwelling for just under £82,000.  Given the cost of a standard home this is an incredible saving.  He was also able to choose the location where he wanted to build without having to rely on a simple Estate. He was also able to save costs by treating the projects with simplicity and it is particularly green as well.

In 2014 Shropshire Council offered a radical solution to their housing problem by allowing people to build their own homes. One couple took advantage of this scheme and were able to build a brick and timber-based building with spectacular Shropshire views.  It also features a wood burner and is easily half the price to build over similar properties in the area.  Which just goes to show that there is always a chance your project may come to life.
