What is self-build insurance?
A growing number of people in the UK are opting for custom designed, unique homes instead of pre-built designs. Whether you already have a plot or you’re at the dreaming stage, insurance is likely to feature in your planning and costs. It may not be the most exciting part of your project, but getting your insurance right should mean that you have one less thing to worry about.
