Self Build Portal brings you free ticket offers to the best self build shows for anyone wanting to build their dream home…
As well as bringing you the latest news and advice for your dream home project, Self Build Portal shares the key shows and events with you, so that you can plan your diary around what’s of interest to you for your project. To help you with this we’ve negotiated a host of ticket offers exclusively for Self Build Portal users!
Whether you’re thinking about self-building a home or renovating, we’ve listed the shows that will help you put your dreams into action.
Don’t forget that custom build, where serviced plots are available on larger or stand-alone developments, could be the solution to self-build aspirations. This could be in its purest form, where you choose from a range of pre-selected developers to build your home, or more of an enabled route, where you buy a serviced plot and choose your own contractor/manufacturer to build your house.
And we’re seeing more and more cohousing and community-led projects gaining ground, with over 220 community land trusts now set up across the UK. These projects bring together groups of people who want to build their own developments to reflect their needs or shared values, creating the homes and neighbourhood they want to live in. There’s such a lot of options to choose from!
Get your project started…
