Self build and Renovation Centre celebrates birthday

The UK national Self Build and Renovation Centre celebrated a year since it opened on January 29th.

Buildstore, the company behind the centre, has said 20,000 people have visited it since it was opening, confirming the growing interest in the self build and home renovation sector.

Chief executive Raymond Connor stated the centre, located near Swindon, had been vital in helping innovative householders plan their work, stating that this had enabled staff to "educate them about different aspects of self build and renovation, offer advice and recommendations, and introduce them to a range of services and products that they simply won't find anywhere else".

Recent research by propertyfinder.com provided a good reason for the increasing popularity of self build with news that the cost of self building in England is £55,000 cheaper than buying on average.

This figure is based on an average home costing £267,600, whereas a self built home would cost £212,850 in land, materials and labour.
