Asked by: Richard Bacon (Conservative - South Norfolk)
Question to the HM Treasury:
What fiscal steps he is taking to encourage self-build and custom housebuilding.
Answered by Kemi Badenoch - President of the Board of Trade
The Government is committed to ensuring that self- and custom-build provision expands across the country – giving more people a greater say over their homes and communities.
At the Spending Review, we announced £2.2 billion of new loan finance to support SME housebuilders. This includes delivering ‘Help to Build’ for custom and self-builders.
Custom-builders can also access development finance through the Home Building Fund.
