Yes, you can undertake part of the building work yourself in a self-build project. However, this decision can impact your mortgage application.
Lenders often prefer – and sometimes require – that professional builders and contractors carry out the work to ensure quality and adherence to building regulations. If you have relevant skills and qualifications, some lenders might be more flexible.
Make sure to discuss your plans in detail with your lender, as this can affect the release of funds, the overall cost, and the timeline of your project.
