Is self-building an Oak frame cost efficient?
Yes. An Oak-frame self-build can be highly cost effective since you are actually buying a property at cost price. Most of the work done will be free of VAT since this is viewed as a new dwelling. As a result few people spend more than their home is ultimately worth. However costs will fluctuate, so when planning your budget it is wise to allow yourself around 15% leeway in case of complications or changes of plan.
