Self Build
Self-build used to be the sole premise of property developers, or people with a lot of money and time on their hands. Nowadays though, building your own home is making more financial sense than ever before. With the current decline of the property market, self build is the only sector which seems to be bucking the trend. In fact three in ten homes in the UK are now self build or self restoration properties, and industry experts claim that figure is set to rise dramatically over the next ten years.
Magna Holdings currently have some fantastic self build properties and land for sale in exclusive parts of Yorkshire. We have building plots for sale and self restoration opportunities in Warmfield, near Heath in Wakefield.
Househunters are often deterred from taking on a self build project because they don't know where to start when it comes to finding architects, finance or tradesmen. Over the next few pages we have compiled some invaluable advice about building your own home, which we hope you find useful.
