Driving the ‘Self Build’ Revolution

Earlier this year, the government launched the Help to Build scheme to make self-build more accessible and affordable. The scheme is a £150 million government fund allowing for low-deposit mortgages through equity loans on self and custom build homes and aims to help people build or commission a house that meets their specific needs. Our panel, hosted by Danny Belton, Head of Lender Relationships, will discuss how the Help 2 Build scheme works and how it is impacting the wider new build market. This area of the market has seen considerable legislative change over the past few years, so the panel will examine how that change is progressing in practice. They will also look at the types of lender support available for the self-build and custom-build market, as well as identifying what opportunities are available from a broker perspective. Our panellists are: • Jasmine Smith, Business Development Manager, The Melton Building Society • Tom Molloy, National Account Manager, Mansfield Building Society • Stuart Bryce, National Relationship Manager, Buildstore
