Custom build houses
When you choose to custom build, you will be able to have input into the design of your house right from the start. For example, you can have input into the internal layout, choose your exterior materials and add additional features such as glazed gable ends, and vaulted ceilings. You will also be able to make choices to reduce your energy costs such as PV (Solar) panels, high-performance build systems, and ASHP (air-sourced heat pump) and include external features such as EV charging, bicycle storage, and solar lighting. This means you can create a home that is efficient and comfortable to live in, to your tastes and needs.
Three offers to landowners
Home@ix offers landowners three ways to work with Potton, depending on the planning status of the site and how much risk and reward the landowner wants to share.
| Offer | What Home@ix does | Consideration to landowner | Who carries planning cost and risk | Early income to Home@ix |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A. Ideas Book design with a turnkey build package | The landowner chooses a design from the Ideas Book. Home@ix supplies a fully supplied turnkey build package: planning and reserved matters, groundworks and framing, finished with our supply chain partners. | Landowner buys the chosen design and turnkey build package; no land transaction. | Planning and reserved matters are delivered within the package. | Package fees. |
| B. Promotion or option agreement | Takes the site through pre-application and outline where no permission exists. | Share of outcome as agreed; paid in homes or plots, or by deferred receipts. | Home@ix, funded from a small pre-application pool per site, repaid from the promotion fee or first plot receipts. | Promotion and design fees. |
| C. Joint venture with plot passports | Outline with plot passports and design code; buyers bring forward reserved matters; Home@ix sells serviced plots or builds to order. | Completed homes or plots (for example, four of 25 plots). | Home@ix. | Fees only until consent; plot receipts follow consent. |
