Grant Shapps: According to the National Self Build
Association the majority of self-builders spend between £100,000 and £150,000
building their own home. For example, Fairgrove Homes are currently selling
plots in Nottinghamshire to self builders for £40,000 and will build a good
sized three bed home for a further £90,000. At Ashley Vale in Bristol the community built their homes for
less than £150,000 each, including land and all building costs. It is not however possible to provide a
breakdown of the average cost of a self-build home, including land, given the
wide variation in cost across the country and the range of build routes which a
self builder can follow to build their home. Further details of indicative building costs across the
country, with and without land costs, are set out on the self build portal www.selfbuildportal.org.uk which is run by the self-build industry and offers a range
of advice to aspiring self-builders.
