Breaking down UK Self-Build Costs

Описание: If you’re planning a self-build, one of the first questions you’ll face is: how much money do I really need?

At Mayflower Mortgage, we’re here to give you a clear, step-by-step explanation of the full financial picture: from deposits and cash flow to hidden costs you won’t find in most guides.
Most people focus on the construction budget, but funding a self-build is about more than paying for materials and labour. You also need to think about living costs during the build, upfront fees, surveys, planning conditions, cash reserves, and how a staged self-build mortgage actually releases money.

In this video, we walk you through:
✔️ How self-build deposits work, and why they’re based on total project cost
✔️ The role of your income, savings, and borrowing power
✔️ How mortgage stage releases affect cash flow
✔️ The real cost of reports, surveys, and planning conditions
✔️ Living costs, temporary accommodation, and storage
✔️ Site setup expenses that catch people out
✔️ Upfront costs before you break ground
✔️ Post-build costs that turn your house into a home
✔️ How much to keep aside as a contingency

Whether you’re dreaming, planning, or already preparing your build, this video will help you understand what your project will really cost, and how to budget with confidence.

If you’d like expert support with your financial planning, our team can help you cost your project and make sure your funding is secure from start to finish.
