More choice when you build your own home

By Gavin Evans


With the right help and guidance, building your own home may not be some sort of unfathomable dream. In the UK it has traditionally been seen as a far more expensive and unlikely option when compared to buying a home, but in certain circumstances, it may be just the right thing. You certainly don't need as big of a mortgage. You can build your home little by little, or take out loans on top of the mortgage that balance everything out.

It depends on where you want to live. If you require living in a busy area, you may not be likely to find space to build, but if you are happy to livein a smaller town or out in the country, you may be in luck!

But if you are able to find land in the right place, then you are then left with a blank canvas. You can choose a Timber frame instead of having to go with traditional brick or stone. Timber frame homes are growing in popularity and have proven to be great for the cold weather as well as environmentally friendly.

Underfloor heating is growing in popularity, but if you buy a home, it is probably the last thing on your mind to have installed unless you are planning some major renovations. So building from scratch allows you to install the latest environmentally friendly and money saving heating systems. Electric underfloor heating or water based underfloor heating can go under any type of flooring.

Often when people buy a home, they do not take into account that although on paper they are getting a home for a certain amount, there is always quite a bit of money spent on the outset. There are little jobs to be done before moving in, like tearing up carpet, or replacing floors or repainting. All this can add up, and in many ways, when compared to doing everything from scratch, it can equal out the same or similar. So instead of having to rip out carpets, you can choose something you love from the start.
