The Self Builders Podcast is a practical, straight‑talking podcast for anyone planning, funding, or building their own home. Hosted by industry experts who work with self‑builders every day, the podcast breaks down the real‑world challenges of self‑build projects — from finding land and securing planning permission, to understanding build costs, managing cashflow, and getting the right finance in place. Each episode features honest conversations with professionals across the self‑build journey, including architects, planners, surveyors, lenders, and self‑builders themselves.
