More money for self-build homes

£4 million loan fund open for applications (September 7th).People across Scotland who want to build their own homes will be able to apply to the self-build loan fund from today.Announcing that the £4 million fund is now open for applications, Housing Minister Kevin Stewart said:We know that people are interested in building their own homes and in some cases, it is the best way for families to tailor their homes to their needs. However, we also know that it can be tough to secure funding and get the right advice, which is why we set up the self-build loan fund to help those that need to access finance.Following a successful pilot in the Highlands, we decided to roll the fund out to people across the country. This is now open for applications and I want to see people across Scotland apply and make full use of this fund.
