Simplifying custom and self build for housebuilders
Self Build & Custom Housing (SBCH) is now routinely secured through Section 106 Agreements on larger housing sites. Often this applies to a small number of homes within otherwise standard schemes.
While the planning position is clear, the commercial route through it is not always straightforward.
Blank Canvas exists to provide that route.
We work directly with housebuilders to acquire S106 Self & Custom Build
We ensure S106 allocations are:
- Designed to meet SBCH policy and legislation
- Built by housebuilders using standard delivery processes
- Acquired under a single, guaranteed sale
How it works for housebuilders
A clear commercial arrangement.
Commercial Impact
By working with Blank Canvas, SBCH stops being an exception within the scheme.
- SBCH homes are treated as standard units for programme and cashflow purposes
- Sales receipts are secured on delivery
- S106 milestones and timing constraints can be unlocked
- Viability positions on open-market homes can be robustly defended
Beyond Delivery
Following acquisiton, Blank Canvas takes responsibility for the onward Self & Custom Build process.
This includes sale to homebuyers and support through completion, funding, warranties, and compliance.
All post-delivery activity sits outside of the housebuilder’s delivery programme, maintaining a clear separation between homebuilding and self-completion.
