PICTURE CAPTION: Here\u2019s one Shropshire Self build project to be finished in 2016.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

A new year’s gift to those wishing to make their Shropshire self-build a reality or for those wanting an alternative way to get on the property ladder has come in the guise of free, monthly meetings led by regional property experts.<\/p>\n

Real-life examples at the monthly forums\u00a0include\u00a0how a Shropshire cottage was designed and built\u00a0to a\u00a0budget\u00a0of just \u00a3100,000\u00a0as well as information about self build building regulations.<\/p>\n

Shropshire Self-Build Interest Group founder,\u00a0Tony Parker\u00a0said:\u00a0\u201cThe\u00a0group was set up to provide a network of local people with interest in self build. With the aim that the network would provide support for those interested in building their own home\u00a0as well as answer questions which people have so they can make informed choices about one of\u00a0the fastest growing ways to get on the housing ladder as well as build the home of your dreams.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sarah Pugh, Director of Renovate Me said: “It’s\u00a0no secret that the UK is in a housing crisis; with the population predicted to hit 70 million by 2027 there is a significant housing shortage. The Government target is for 240,000 homes to be built each year to meet demand but with less than 120,000 homes built in 2014 the stats alone tell us\u00a0we’re\u00a0failing miserably.<\/p>\n

“However, the Government has committed to tackle the housing shortage with\u00a0self build\u00a0and custom build\u00a0firmly on the agenda.\u00a0Placing a duty on councils to allocate land to facilitate the building of 20,000 custom and self-build homes a year by 2020.\u201d<\/p>\n

Covering topics from self-build regulations\u00a0to real life self build examples as well as\u00a0an open forum\u00a0to ask experts the questions would-be self-builders\u00a0need answers to –\u00a0why not take your step to self build in Shropshire a touch closer in 2016?<\/p>\n

Sarah said \u201cIt\u2019s a great way for people to share ideas and knowledge in order to avoid the many pitfalls that can occur. Since the launch of Renovate Me I have found I get a lot of enquiries from people who are keen to know more about self-build. Shropshire is lucky to have a dedicated meeting for those interested. I’m delighted to be part of the group and sharing the knowledge I have face to face with people.\u201d<\/p>\n
