A Blank Canvas Home is a professionally built new home that gives buyers genuine choice and flexibility, while ensuring developers meet the statutory definition of a Self or Custom Build home.
Each property is built by the principal housebuilder to an agreed stage, typically up to wind and watertight, with all structure, roof, windows, doors, and core services in place. From there, the buyer takes ownership of the internal design and finish – choosing layouts, fixtures, and materials to create a home that reflects their own style and needs.
For developers, this approach provides a straightforward, compliant route to deliver serviced plots and meet Self and Custom Build obligations without changing standard build processes. For buyers, it offers a simpler, safer way to design and finish a home that’s personal, practical, and built to last.
The result is a flexible model that works for both sides – combining developer assurance with homeowner creativity to bring true custom build living into mainstream housing.
