Question to the HM Treasury:

What fiscal steps he is taking to encourage self-build and custom housebuilding.

The Government is committed to ensuring that self- and custom-build provision expands across the country – giving more people a greater say over their homes and communities.

At the Spending Review, we announced £2.2 billion of new loan finance to support SME housebuilders. This includes delivering ‘Help to Build’ for custom and self-builders.

Custom-builders can also access development finance through the Home Building Fund.
