Why settle for an off-the-peg property when you could have a home that’s tailored exactly to fit your way of life?
In this second series of To Build Or Not To Build, presenter Simon O’Brien travels across the country to meet some of the people who have ditched the mainstream property developers and opted to construct their perfect pad themselves.
