Custom and Self Build Market Report 2023/24

Introduction

The 2nd edition of the Custom and Self Build Market Report, 2023-24, provides invaluable insight and empirical evidence on activity in custom and self build. It includes insight around planning and examples of models, as well as an in-depth look at policy, practice and definitions, with detailed analysis. Commentary and research is all original, and previously unpublished.

Summary

The report sets out the current legislative, policy and guidance that frames custom and self build delivery in England, and the rest of the UK, as well as the policy priorities for NaCBSA. For example, NaCSBA continues to press the case for owner commissioned homes, both with government and industry but also wider organisations and issues that impact practice, such as the Competition and Markets Authority’ review into housebuilding and Biodiversity Net Gain.

It offers insight with reviews of processes and activity that enlightens practice, such as recent planning appeals around custom and self build registers and a review of Graven Hill’s first ten years, with lessons that support the scaling up of custom and self build. The report also offers a detailed look at custom build models and definitions.

With regards to data it shares analysis of new research, including the aspirations and expectations of those looking to build, data around the Right to Build registers, the economic and energy benefits of building an owner-commissioned home (as opposed to typical market-built housing) and NaCSBA’s own Business Confidence Survey.
