Self Build Magazine

You need to be careful at every stage right from finding a plot to self build home. There are several good build magazine self on the shelf that help you in making the right choice from finding a plot to finer details of construction like choice of insulation for your new home, which is so essential for balancing the benefits of energy efficiency with cost and the ease of installation
With the progress that has been made in self build lending, and with the flexibility of the Accelerator Mortgage in particular, there is now no need to sell first and then buy and build. More self builders are therefore staying put and using sensibly structured finance to let them complete their new home before realising the capital from the sale of their existing property.

Keep in mind that land takes up to 35 per cent of the total cost. You need to get outline planning permission - most lenders require it before offering a mortgage. Detailed permission can wait until later, although again lenders will want it before releasing funds.

Build magazine self will help you prepare your budget! Many will have equity in their existing property and this will therefore come into the equation at some stage, whether at the very beginning before the plot has been bought, or even after the new home has been completed. Most self builders will need assistance with their finance either in the form of a mortgage over a period of years or in the short term for the duration of the build. There are several other issues to be addressed. If you're new to self-build or renovation it’s time to take a look at a good Build magazine self series.
