EXPERTS AT SELF-BUILD DEVELOPMENTS
Working with Millen
On most of our schemes we release one or more plots as serviced self-build plots — with implementable planning permission, services to the boundary, and a clear design brief.
If you own land you'd like to bring forward as a self-build scheme, we can help with planning strategy, promotion and delivery.
We offer planning consultancy as a stand-alone service — site appraisals, pre-application advice, design and access statements, planning applications, and appeals.
Is self-build right for you?
If you want a home designed around how you actually live, not a developer's standard lay out, you want to take control of your project over an 18-36 month timeline and you have (or can raise) the budget for land & build costs, it's time to talk to Millen.
Self-Build Support
Our team provides expert advice on self-build projects, allowing you to make the most out of your project, and can advise in a potential VAT reclaim of £15k-£30k.
