Saffron supports self-build with £40m

Housing Minister Grant Shapps recently announced a £30m government fund is to be made available to the house building community.

The move is part of wider efforts to help double the size of the self-build sector.

Jon Hall, CEO of Saffron, said: “We have backed the self-build community for some time now. At a time when property prices are out of reach for many self-build gives our customers another option of getting on the housing ladder.

"We support the government’s initiative to increase funding to this sector, and hope that with this and a joint effort from lenders, the self-building community can thrive.”
