Self-build mortgages release money in stages, and each lender defines those stages differently. This section follows Devon self-builders through plot purchase, foundations, wind-and-watertight and completion, showing what was released when, what it cost to wait, and which lenders and warranty providers were actually willing to work on rural sites.

What this section covers

  • Self-build mortgages and how stage payments actually arrive
  • Plot finance, outline permission and what lenders want to see
  • Warranty providers and rural or non-standard construction
  • The Right to Build registers kept by each Devon district
  • Real Devon self-builds, with the timeline and the cost of waiting

New reports are published under Self-Build Mortgages, Plots and Planning and Devon Districts.
