The Ready to Build Scheme helps people build their own homes in towns and villages by providing serviced sites at below market price. This makes self-building more affordable and supports vibrant rural communities.
What’s Changing?
Under Delivering Homes, Building Communities, the scheme will be expanded and improved:
- Local authorities will service sites and enable the construction of clusters of homes near towns.
- These developments will include:
- Affordable homes
- Self-build options
- Social housing
- The goal is to create mixed-tenure communities with the right mix of housing types.
Support for Small Builders
The expanded scheme will also open opportunities for small and medium-sized homebuilders (SMEs) who have suitable land but face challenges with funding or infrastructure.
